Holt House

At last we ca n announce that the old house in which Pi Beta Phi was founded has come into the possession of the Fraternity. Long the property of the family of Major Holt, it could not be sold until this year, although long unoccupied and allowed to go to rack and ruin This summer we were able to purchase the house, and at once bad it inspected, with a view to possible future use

Interesting indeed was it to hear that last spring IUinois Alpha held its Founders' Day celebration in the old house. in the very room of the founding, a most historic occasion, one to be loog remembered by those fortunate enough to be present .

On Old Fraternities

Did you hear the broadcast of the one hundredth anniversary of B @ IT? A thrilling expression of fraternity loyalty, it made us think of the enduring quality of this fraternity system of which we are proud to be a part as the oldest national college organization for women One hundred years of honorable life have passed for Beta; older than Beta are six other fraternities, all of unbroken strength through the years, A l!. <1>, X <1>, l!. Y, K A (northern) J '" Y, I fourteen more have existed for between seventy-five and one hundred years ; three are this year celebrating their diamond jubilees, A T n , K A (southern), and @ E . Could better proof be found of the lasting servlee to humanity rendered by the college fr a ternity than such a record of honorable longevity as this? It reflects the lasting influence of the high standards of living and real friendship that these organizations have always brought to their members, passing them on from one generation to the next Mere age is of itself unimportant, of course, but worthy length of days su ch as this is another matter.

From her own great age of seventy -three, Pi Beta Phi offers her congratulation s to the fraternities having their anniversary celebrations this year.

Of War Times

50 it came at last! The long feared European war, with its dreadful train of human misery in Poland, is upon us.

What are we to do about it, we who live in the blessed security of our homes on this side of the ocean? How can we best help our nation to keep out of the struggle as long as is consistent with our national honor? For that is the universal desire among OUf people What s ha ll we, the college and fraternity women of the United States, do about it ?

5u rely in the situation as it exists as this is written we can do no better thing than to go about our usu al way of life, whether it be in our coUeges Of in our homes Education is more

important than usual, should be taken even more seriously than usual, in such times as these; fine home life was never more essential to our nation. It is oucllain duty to ca rry on- to carry o n quietly, steadily , whether in school, in the business wod J or in our homes. We arc far from being at wac , we hope to remain neutral. The times ca ll for sanity and calm Jiving.

If the worst happens, if war comes to our nation, we shall take care of that emergency in its own time, confident in the wise strength of the preparations that are being made now for whatever may come.

As a news commentator says, "It is a privilege to live in the United States of America ." Let us appreciate that privilege. Let us work to keep unchanged our grand American ideals of life and conduct.

Of Losses

ANNE STUART

The sympathy of Pi Phis everywhere goes out to the surviving members of the Stuart family of Lincoln, Nebraska , long known and beloved in IT B <1>, in the death of Anne Stuart Members of the Fraternity who had the privilege of knowing her grieve for her passing, and feel that hers was a place that can never be fuled. As Grand Treasurer. and later as member of the Board of Trustee Funds, her servi ce was notable; her devotion to IT B <l> and to Nebraska Beta was an example for all Pi Phis; her personal friendships were widespread .

NITA HILL STARK

The Fraternity extends deep sympathy to Lutcher Stark, long·time friend of all Pi Phi interests, in the death of his wife, Nita Hill Stark , Texas A, late Grand Secretary. A period of mourning was ordered by the Grand President for her and Anne Stuart jointly, but no such mechanical expression can measure Qur real grief over her death .

It was given to literally thousand, of Pi Phis to know Nita in her chapter visits and her faithful attendan ce at convention s; to them her memory will always be an ideal and an inspiration [or loyal service to the Fraternity. Her philanthropic interests were varied, but always Pi Phi came first , and within Pi Phi , her beloved Texa, A held first place. Those who had the privilege of atte nding Kappa Province Conference last June will never for/(et the gallant spirit with which she rose above physical disability to give the best of her thought and long experience to the discussion , nor her grace and charm as toastmistress of that memorable bansuet.

All P, Beta Phis , and especially the members of Grand Council, have lost a loyal and devoted siste r ; the fraternity world has lost one of its most active champions.

Pi Beta Phi mourns for Anne Stuart and Nita Stark.

Sympathy to Theta

Pi Beta Phi extends deep est sympathy to K A (1) for the death on September 21, 1939, of its Founder, Bettie Locke Hamilton

Again We Colonize

In these days of changing conditions n B <l> has again been honored by being asked to lend support to groups on two campuses of the highest type-Lawrence College, at Appleton, Wisconsin, and Vanaerbilt University, at Nashville, Tennessee Both colleges more than come up to our requirements, and are fine fraternity fields In each case Grand Council has sent glCls to the campus, at Lawrence to work with an already established group, and at Vanderbilt to get a group together. In each case we are proud of their success. Pi Phi Gamma at Lawrence reports seventeen fine pledges, the group at Vanderbilt has ten, in both cases admittedly among the best on the campus.

Both groups will be allowed to petition Convention in June, with the record of what we

ho p e will be a most successful yea r behind them . We are proud of their success thus far. An alumn., club already exi sts in NashviUe, and has worked hard with the new girls . At Appleton, the provisional group has bee n an incentive for the Pi Phis in the Fox River Valley , embracing a large territory, including besides Appleton such town s as Oshkosh, Fond du La c, Neenah, Menasha , and Green Bay, to establish a club , and ask for a c harter We wish for them every happiness in their association .

Correction

In a previous issue we mentioned that we had received the History of Mi c higan Beta Chapter- an error! What we received was not the history, but a p ri nted booklet of information about the c hapter whi c h was sent out to all Mi chigan Betas, and a fine one it is, too .

Convention Time Again

R ead the section about Convention whi ch is our leading article herein, then plan to come to the Huntington in June! We promise you a very happy welcome

CALL TO CONVENTION

«l "A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair ."

«l Once in each two years , Convention brings Pi Beta Phis together for friendship's sake, that priceless possession which alone would make our Fraternity a thing of infinite value. But a national convention is more even than this privilege of new and "in-repair" friendships; it is also an opportunity for high service to Pi Beta Phi in helping chart its future course and in insuring its progress sharply towards the high goals set for it from the beginning.

(l One needs onl y to recall the Convention of 1925}-and who could ever forget its happiness and inspiration!-to know that the gracious hospitality and the boundless Pi Phi enthusiasm of Mu Province and The Huntington promise a convention long to be remembered with special joy as the fraternity goes back in 1940 to California and to The Huntington.

«l Share the rare fraternity privilege which this convention will mean!

«l Come to Convention!

MADGE SIBLEY HOOBLER HOME STANDS AS REPLICA OF DREAM

Two years ago, on a hright October afternoon, Dr. B. Raymond Hoobler, n oted Detroit pediatrist, and his wife. Madge Sibley. Michigan B, were motoring northward aloog Michigan's west coast, en route to celebrate their twenty·sixth wedding anniversary at Vanderbilt Lake.

As they rode, Mrs. Hoobler talked eagerly of the dream she had cherished for five years, the building of a home for convalescent girls, and with a prophetic vision she told her husband exactly the kind of home she wanted to build. That night, October 13, just two days before the anniversary, she died in Ludington

But the dream came true and Sunday Dr. Hoobler was host to the visitors who came to see Madge Sibley Hoobler Guest House, which was dedi cated Satwday and which will welcome its first occupants Mo nday .

HARROWING THRILLS AFI"ER

S.S. ATHENJA TORPEDOED TOLD BY DALLAS SURVIVOR

Betty Stewart, Texas B pledge, was one of the thr« Dallas gir ls who " covered" first hand the tragic story of the new world war's lirst major naval dis as ter- the torpedoing of the Alhenia on September 3.

The first borror and panic when the ship was struck, the eight hours during which the lifeboat bobbed in the darkness on '" Develin 's Hole," one of the d«pest spots of the ocean, and the rescut are all parts of the account as she detailed it to ber parents. And like a "vetera n reporter," she made of her letter a human document by weaving throughout it the bits of beroism and fear and despair and the laughing courage which marked the unforgettable experience.

Betty came home on the Cuban steamer Orizabo, which sailed from Glasgow, Scotland

Her letter written while in Galway, Iceland, awaiting passage home, is reproduced by permission

TORPEDO STRIKES

'"Now to tell you how it all bappened. Mrs. Strain a nd I had just eaten a very light dinner and were going up to walk on deck because we had been f«ling a little green all day We got as far as the top of the stairs , ten feet in from the promenade deck door on the starboard side when the torpedo struck. All we said was 'My God; and threw our arms aroun d each other .

" Our next thought, si nce we had a lifeboat drill on Friday, was to get to our cabins to find our life belts and money before taking our life boat stations We got to the promenade deck down to the main stairways on 'A' deck, but co uldn ' t get down to our cabins on ' B' deck because of tbe upward rush of people who had been caught in the dining room at the second sitting When we found we couldn't get to our cabin we started forward to get on open deck in order to get to our lifeboats . On deck. we met most of our girls and sent them to their respective stations .

" As soon as I came on deck Jerry Wynne and I found each other and stuck together tighter than mother and child. She had on a silk robe under her camel's hair coat. She had been in the cabin and had taken time to grab only her coat and a life belt . I had : on my checked skirt and blouse, black patent sandals (one heel was lost trying to get to the cabin) and my heavy coat.

OROERED TO BoATS

"Finally, after having tried to quiet scores of frantic women and children , Jerry and I were told to get into our lifeboat pronto! Jerry started down the rope ladder over the sIde to clImb down to the lifeboat which had already been lowered into the water. I started when she was half-way down, but on the way the ladder broke two or three times and there was a great delay in having to lash it.

"When I finally got nearly to the end of the ladder, Jerry was already in the boat. The Alhenia listed suddenly and violently to port_ I thought it was on its way down but that was only one of the maoy false alarms in face of death that night. I called 'Good-bye' to Jerry and told her to tell you all I was all right if she got home first. However, nothing came of that scare. Boat No. 2 that Jerry had heen dragged into said that they were filled and for me to hang on until the motor boat. which was next in line, could pick me up. After good-byes, a little begging and pleading, and a few such things-a wave washed the boat near the ladder and one of the seamen grasped my hand , pulling me by one arm into the stem under the bosun's feet. After they got me aboard, they cast off and then stood by a short distance from the Alhenia expecting her to slither under any second.

"The excitement begao at twenty minutes before eight and, by the time it had gotten dark, all the lifeboats had cast off to bob about on 'Develin ' s Hole: one of the deepest spots of the entire ocean _ The lights on board ship had gone out with the striking of the torpedo, but when night carne the dynamo was set into action, light109 the boat deck of the ship and giving us bit of light to watch and keep our spirIts up,

MANY LACK WRAPS

"Many had gotten on the lifeboat without anything warm about them Most of these

were put in as sheltered places as can be found on a small boat. Margaret Doggett, a Dallas gIrl , had on only a short-sleeved silk dress so I took off my long-sleeved shirt and gave it to her in hopes that it would break the wind a little We had been on the water seemed to me a very short time , in realIty two or three hours, when a motorboat drew alongside to put more people in our boat so that they would be abre to return to the Alhenia to collect the twelve officers that had remained on board to make a final check of the clearing of living persons from the shi.\'.

'Nearly everyone on our boat made numerous trips to the side. We were all seasick in various stages. I would have been a little less so if I hadn't had Margaret and a fellow lying with their heads on my lap Harry Greer, the steward who was the other person besides Margaret, whom I was trying to keel' warm , had on only an undershirt and a paIr of white duck pants I tried to keep my coat around the two of them and over me at the time. As a result none of us were partIcularly warm yet the coat took the chill off to a certain extent.

"It seems odd that, when you are under such a strain, time seems t.o pass so quickly. We were on the water nearly eight hours before we boarded the Kn/J/e Nelson, a Norwegian freighter. During that interval nun.terous times we seemed almost ready to capSIze yet there was little hysteria among anyone except the poor Polish refugees who couldn't speak our language and to begin with weren't particularly brilliant. They prayed, cried, and one old man attempted suicide several times only to be pulled back in the boat again_

TRIED SINGING

"For a while we tried to get the people to sing with us. The only trouble was that there were too few who knew our language and grew too hoarse to sing after so long a time

"We saw the KnuJe Ne/Jon for over two hours before we were able to come alongside of her to be taken aboard. One reason for this was that we had a rudder but no tiller and so, although Mas, the bosun , held it by hand, all the maneuvering had to be done with our oars . That is a difficult job for ao accomplished rower on smooth water-so you can imagioe what a task it was 00 a slightly rough sea with inexperien ced oarsmen.

When we did draw near the Knllle Nelson we had to cross from windward to leeward immediatdy beneath her prow In attempting this we crashed against the bow several times but without damage.

"To get on board, at the beginning, there were only two possible ways-a rope ladder and a bosun's chair (a board made like a rope swing) that was raised with one person at a time. Many of the women and children in our boat went up in the chair while the men tried the ladder . FinaBy, when the boat just ahead of us was emptied, we were moved up to a gangway. Getting on to this was no small job. The sea had begun to roll pretty heavily and as the lileboat was washed up close to the side it was necessary to make a wild leap th rough space with the hope of being caught by the seamen at the foot of the gangway. When my turn came I was Just climhing to the side of the boat as the swell cau.\lht us and threw us against the side. As I tried to keep my halance, a sailor grabbed me and dragged me onto the gangway where I was passed from hand to hand upward until I was up on deck.

NERVES NUMB

"That night fear was an emotion absolutely beyond my comprehension. rve felt absolutely none from the time the torpedo struck up to now-and I don't expect to feel any. I knew that if the Alhw;a sank I'd go down only once because the suction would be too great to allow anything to rise to the surface quickly. If this had happened I'd have been perfectly resigned to it. Somehow, I knew that we were safe. The only thing I did from the time the torpedo struck until I'd gotten down to the ladder into the lileboat was to repeat the ' Prayer of Faith: That is absolutely the only thing that entered my mind besides declaring the fact, to convince myself and others, that we were perfectly sale and that we'd be picked up quickly. My nerves seemed deadened. If I'd had time to anal.,Yze the situation I'd ha.ve been but things happened too rapIdly for thlnkmg of anything other than what your duty at that particular moment was.

"There were many injured persons taken

abroad the Knule Ntlson. Some were chefs who had been covered with scalding fat, some had been hurt getting from the Alhen;a into their boats , and still others had been in the lifeboat which had been sucked under by the propeller when the engines were started to keep the ship so the boats could stand by on the leeward side.

FAMILIES SEPARATED

"There were groups of people who had become separated from their families . and friends They were sad. On the other hand there were a n r of us young people and officers who had a more or less happy outlook on things. At least on the surface we were smiling. On Monday aboard the KnUlt NelJon we were occupied with tryin.\l to accustom ourselves to the roUing of a freighter on the sea with very little cargo. The sea had gotten rougher and the swells came so that when the prow dipped the stern raised into the air and the propeller spun violently. None of us in our cabin got sea· sick, but we all looked just a shade greener than usual.

"In the morning Jerry, Doris Kent and I slept (I should say lay) on the Boor of the captain's cabin along with several of the AthenitlJ officers . That was fine, for after a while they brought us toast and boiled eggs. I couldn't sleep, S0, after a fast turn around the deck, I lound some of the girls from our party in a cabin that belonged to Schell, a Norwegian sailor. We held a crude sort of open house in there all day. That night, after eating in the crew's mess hall, a gang of us went hack there and talked. It ended by all of us sleeping in various corners of that tiny cabin, meant originally for not more than two people. Four of the girls had the two berths and that left me sleeping on the Boor with my head under the bunk (so I could stretch out) along with Bob, Ken, and a Canadian boy. On a wooden bench we had two Scot lads, so our little cabin was jammed. We were all awake by 6 the next morning watching the coast of Ireland to see what and where Galway was going to be.

Tragedy Strik es Indian a Ga mma

ALAST minute news item comes too late for us to do more than quote from the newspaper article which tells of the death of one of the new initiates of Indiana r on Saturday, October 7, 1939. We quote :

"Pi Beta Phi Fraternity at Butler University was to have held an open house observance Sunday. E laborate plans were made. Enthusiastic, newly -initiated members, includi ng Miss Margie Sims, age eighteen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Sims, 556 North Central court, made every effort to see that things were in order for the guests.

With those plans completed, Miss Sims, a sophomore at the university, and some of her sorority sisters planned a Saturday night hay ride as a celebration of their initiation Thurs -

day night. But the hay ride had a tragic climax in an accident in which Miss Sims was killed . three of her sorority sisters seriously injured and four young men hurt, one critically.

The hay wagon was struck from the rear by an automobile, tipping the wagon on its side and throwing the occupants to the ground and Miss Sims died almost instantly.

Listed as critical also is Miss Helen Evans , New Castle, daughter of Herbert H. Evans , widely·known Republican member of the Indiana legislature . Less seriously hurt was Miss Dorothy Gimbel, age twenty , university senior and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest N . Gimbel, 3601 College avenue ."

To Indiana r the Fraternity extends its sympathy.

Many Province Conferences

T spring was a time for province fther. L iogs! We give you here in brie their story, and a story of fine fellowship and Pi Beta Phi feeling it is--we cannot tell of the friendships made, the plans and ideas shared by individuals, yet these are perhaps the finest grist that comes from their mill. For all of us who had the privilege of attending one or more of them, they were happy experiences, broadening in their result, nne clearing houses for opinions on matters that

lie before fraternity women today, and especially before members of n B 4>. Fine indeed was it when such matters could be discussed in the spirit of deepest loyalty and devotion to the Fraternity, without the entrance of prejudices and personalities into the discussion. These province conferences are an increasingly important phase of IT B <Il work, and to them Grand Council has been happy to extend every possible aid. They till an interesting place in fraternity life.

CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY

" We light each candle with glowing flame Not for memory but in tender acclaim For the ten who have gone ahead, so far, That we can't hear their voict$ back here where we are; And the two, so precious, whom we each can hear Calling far down the trail their words o f cheer.

"Twelve lovely girls, young and dreaming dream s, Today look back on the eager streams Of happy girlhood from East and West Who have chosen the Pi Phi trail as best, Who f ollow their footsteps in life's strange ways In life's joyous hours and its testing days; Who know how much ri cher it is, by far, To travel a trail where their guideposts ar e.

" To you, oh Founders, we pledge once more A wealth of youth in abundant store-Their love and vision and courage high, Their sweet endurance and will to try. We plalge the love o f those tried and true Who through longer years have fo llowed yo u, Who have learned the value of Pi Phi friends And the lasting joys her love extends.

" Glow on, bright Barnes, in the wine and blue Through another year, we'll fo llow you And on and on, each tomorrow's trail Thy enduring light will be our graiL" LuaLE Do UG LASS CARSON Beta Province President

KAPPA PROVINCE CONFERENCE

By FRANCES ROSSER BROWN

From Oklahoma "Arrowhead"

Kappa Province held its third biennial conference in Houston, Texas, JUDe 1939. Registrations were made at the Rice Hotel during the first day and each Pi Phi was given a silver blue identification tag and a silver blue program and was asked to sign the guest book. Alice Hurley Mackey, Oklahoma A, D.C.A., was one of the Houston allllllJlle presiding at the registration desk.

The first conference gathering was at 6 o'clock that evening at Pine Knot, the lovely country home of Mrs. J. c. Townes, Jc. The home stands in a grove of pine trees so tall they almost reach the stars. Long tables and benches had been built in a clearing for a barbecue supper and flood lights had been placed high in the surrounding trees to cast moon·glow over the two hundred Pi Phis who were present. Copper urns filled with giant wine dahlias decorated the tables.

VISITIN G OFFICERS INTRODUCED

During the supper Mrs. George Watson , president of the Houston Alumn", Club, introduced the visiting officers-Adele Taylor Alford, ARROW editor; June Harris Granger, Kappa Province President; Olivia Smith Moore, Kappa Province Vice-President; Frances Rosser Brown, national historian. and Nita Hill Stark, former grand secretary, each of whom responded with a few words. Singing rang out most of the time, first from one table. then from another, and often from all tables. Mimeographed copies of Pi Phi so ngs for each one increased the wordage of the singing.

After supper, pledge services were held out·of·doors for Mrs. E. T. Drake of Orange, Texas, and Mrs. Ben Anderson of Houston. Following pledging, initiation was held for Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Anderson, and Katherine Edwards, a pledge of Louisiana B who made seventeen hours of straight "A's" last semester, the highest grade average made by a pledge in Kappa Province. 11,. beautiful imtiation ceremony under the canopy of stars was, so far as is known, the first initiation in the history of n B <I> to be held out·of·doors. The impressive cand le·lighting ceremo ny for the founders was even more impressive usual in the soft stillness of the night.

The joint session on Wednesday morning opened at 9 o'c1ock on the sea·breeze cooled Rice Hotel roof from where one could look for miles along Buffalo Bayou and imagine she saw Audubon coming up the bayou on his way to visit Sam Houston. Mrs. Alford presided at this session and spoke on the ARROW, telling of the many angles connected with the publication of the Fraternity maga· zine. Mrs. Alford explained that, because of lack of space, not all material submitted for each issue of the ARROW can be used. Mrs. Granger spoke on the functioning of active chapters, and Mrs. Moore on the functioning of a lumn", clubs, after which the two led discussion upon several questions of national importance to the Fraternity. Margaret Sangster, Oklahoma A, as a member of the Balfour Cup chapter, was chosen to serve as a page at this session. Upon adjournment, the conference removed to the River Oaks Country Club for luncheon.

The lounges at the country club were ideal places for the renewing of Pi Phi friendships and for the making of new Pi Phi friends. An Arkansas A member said these small Pi Phi group talks were the best part of the confe rence to her. Luncheon was in the ball room of the club and again the flowers were gorgeous, peach gladioli in blue bowls. After luncheon the actives met in a room off the ball room for a round table discussion, under the guidance of Mrs. Granger. The alumn", met in the ball room and Mrs Moore directed discussion on the responsibility of officers, the responsibility of members, junior groups, business groups, telephone committees, publicity, year books and other topics.

CONFERENCE BANQ UET CLOSES

The closing meeting was a banquet in the Empire room of the Ri ce Hotel.

The decorations were deep red roses in crystal bowls. During the dinner, the deIe· gate of each chapter in the province stepped up to the microrhone and told of the ac· comp lishments 0 her chapter during the last year. Each active present who had won honors took a bow when her name was called. Mrs. Granger presented the Amy Burnham Onken

FROM PI PHI PENS

Edited by MER C EDE S BAKER JORGU LF SC.O, M aJJarhusellJ A

FLOWING STREAM

High on the list of distinguished members of our Fraternity is the name of Florence Finch KeUy , Kansas A. Eighty -one years young, the dean of newspaper women in the United States , a foremost book reviewer. an author of one of the best autobiographies of the year, mother of an internationally famous scientist- these are the accomplishments of this IT B <1>

Mrs Kelly has recorded the story of her rich, abundant life in her autobiography Fl owing Strea m Modestly sub-titled, ''The Story of Fifty-Six Years in American Newspaper Life," the book is more than a collection of reminiscences. This is the story of a great mind, its nurturing, its maturity, its plentiful rewards. But even this is not all the unusual volume contains .

The author's life work has been to feel the nation's pulse, analyze events and transmit them to copy. She never accepted events on their face value. If any deeper meaning was hidden therein , her searching mind seized upon it and brought it to light. Therefore, perhaps unconsciously, she has written a Cavalcade of America from Civil War days to the present.

Sometimes she writes in an analytical and serious mood; other times she is delightfully humorous. The laughable side of anything, even herself, never escapes her pen. Her approac h to all subjects is mature, rational, but sparkling with the vital expectancy of youth which eighty-one years have not dimmed.

Even the closing words of her book contain no air of finality. "Surely in so long a distance as my river must yet run before its green banks become dreary sand and sink into the sea there will be time for much doing and living and enjoying. And so to those who have made with me this long journey in retrospect I will say- not Good-

wes t Territory, her fir st recoll ec tion s were of a log -ca bin in Illinois , of Civil War soldiers drilling in the road, of m any moves that alway s pushed farth e r into the undeveloped W e st. After the serious bu s iness of growing up, she entered the youn g University of

Kans as when its campus boasted one lone building. Before graduation, she had a try at journalism and decided this would be her career. There followed work in San Francisco which ended unsu ccessfuUy , another try in Chi cago where six cents worth of soda cra ckers were two days ' fare, a job in Boston where a young reporter by the name of Allen Kelly entered her life , work in California, New Zealand, New Mexico and in other Eastern c ities and finally in New York, where she recently completed thirty years on the N ew Y o rk 1"imes . Her ch apter "Bright College Years" will be of parti c ular interest to members of Kansas A . There a re fond recollections of life on the K .U . c ampu s as it was sixty years ago , with classes under Professor James H . Can- by, but- See You Later! "

As a d a ughter of pion ee rs in the North- field , f ath e r o f a long- robed infant by the

name of Dorothy; with jolly times of four Greek letter soc ieties (of which TI B if> was one) ; and a fri endship with William Herbert Ca rruth whose famous poem "Each i n Hi s Own Ton gue" barely escaped a wastebasket death.

But most important in this c hapter is her eva lu at ion of a co ll ege educatio n. "The thing th at is of inestimable wort h , in a co llege co urs e," s he writes, "is the miracle that is worked upon the stude nt's mind, character and personality . Whatever he studies, it en· larges , e nri ches, and varies his outlook upon life and hi s concept ion of its signifi ca nce; widens immen se ly his in te ll ectua l horizon ; makes hi m moce understanding, more tolerant, more humane . H e will never be as he would have been h ad he not devoted hi s co ll ege year s to the acquisit io n of this knowl -

edge . H ow well do I, individually, know the truth of what I say!"

One closes the pages of Flowing Stream fee ling that he has met a nd known a remarkable woman, a dist in gu ished IT B i,()

What the R ev iewe rs Say: " Mr s Kelly 's remarkable life span, from Abolitionism to the New D ea l, from Lucy Stone to Mrs . Roosevelt, is entertai ningly cove red in a solid, informative autobiography The book is a warm, dear reflection of a str iking personaIity."- K ama.r City Star

Str eam is a profound and joyous experience m the field of autobiography. Mrs Kelly h as lived fully and deeply , and her pages mirror the co lor and the pressure of he r life. " Rose C. Field in the New Y ork Tim es ,

ABIGAIL

A p icture of Lois Donaldson appeared in May 1934 ARROW

Lois Donaldson , Florida A, has added an· other book to her long list of delightful ch il · dren's sto ri es. Th e heroine o f h er latest book, A bigail , is a little girl ten years old, whose name is Susan , She, with he r mother , father , and three brothers journey overland from Kentucky to their new home in Brow n Cou nty, Indi a n a. The time is 1835 . Before Susan sta rt s her lon g trek in th e cove red wago n, grandmoth er surp ri ses her with a gift of a cloth doll, dressed exactly as Susan herself. Abigail, for that is her nam e, shares the excit in g expe ri en ces of the journey

One day a bear invades the camp, while the men are off in the woods, M other saves the day by sh ooting the beast. They cross the Ohio Ri ver in a fl atboat, visit a ge neral sto re where si lks, dainty boots, and kegs of New Orl eans molasses are displayed . Th ey weather a f ri ghtening thunder storm, make hoecake on improv ised implements, and have many ot her experiences before N ashville, In diana, is finally reached . Here Susan watches the men folk build their cab in, awaits the weekly arri val of mail, which is brought in saddle bags by a man on horseback. She co ntracts "yellow janders'· a n d is promptly treated with homemade bitters. The story closes with a housewarming, where quilting,

feasting and square dancing are the even ing 's pleasures.

Miss Don aldson has tak en g reat ca re that all details are histori ca lly accurate. Young people will enjoy the delightful story and parents will app rove its educat ion a l value.

The original cloth doll was designed by Portia Howe Sperry and made by hand by the people of Brown County, Indi ana. The book co nt ain s many delightful illustrations in both, colors, and in black and white.

A PLAN FOR GROWlNG UP

If you are a parent, you will be happy to discov", A Plan lor Growing Up by Marion Quinlan Davis, Kansas B. But let me warn you, Mrs . Parent, at the very outset of the book you are due for an embarrassing selfexamination. "We cannot guide youth to a rich and useful maturity unless we have traveled along the path before him," she writes. " We must become adults ourselves before we attempt to teach the generations that fol· low us. In too many cases our example ha s built broken stairways for youth's feet to climb While we cannot meet all the tests of an adu lt persona lity , we shall be bet· ter able to help youth and to profit from our mistakes, if we face our shortcomings honestly, and try to overcome them." Following which, tests of emotional maturity are given,

An yone who takes her parenthood seriously cannot fail to consider Mrs . Davis· the · ory. Nor, in fa ct, any subject sh e discusses , for all points of view are based upon good commo n se n se, a wide field of ex perien ce. and that emotional maturity to whi ch she refers.

Whil e obviously desirable habits (witho ut which no book on child educa tion ca n be compl ete ) are discussed at length , the most valuable part of the work is the emphasis on character and philosophy building. M eans for encouraging the qualities of a w ellrounded , cultu red personality are given in her sp lendid chapters entitled " Apprec iat ion for the Beautiful," "The Faith of a Chi ld , " and "Children in the Sc hool of Charm.'·

Although we run the risk of appea rin g trite, we challenge one minor point made by the author. In d esc ribing the co ntributing factors of a snobbi sh personality, there is the impli catio n that sororities ma y be one of th em. In justi ce to the author, it must be stated that there is no discussion of the pros and co ns of Greek letter societies. Therefore, while this minor point cannot be left unchallenged, it is merely a "tempest in a t eapot" and does not detract from the in es· timable value of this worthwhile book.

The work is based upon the lectures given by the author to some 15,000 parents and teachers and is published for the Nation al Parent ·Child Association by J. A . Richards, Inc., publishers of Ri chards' Encyclopedia . While the ind ex to material OD character trait s refers to the encyclopedia, A Plan lor Growing Up is sold separately.

The volume itsel f is a credit to Iishing firm. Bound in marine blue ble cloth, embossed in gold and illustrate with fine reproductions of old masters, the book is a thing of beauty. This, together with Mrs Da vis' valuable text makes a book that every

pare nt will want to own, to take to heart a nd to refer to countless times.

ONE WAS VALIANT

Olle U'l'as VaJidnl, by Doris Kent leBlanc. Arcadia Housc. '2

"Keep writing about the places and people you know!" said a Newcomb College profesSOr to Doris Kent leBlanc, Louisiana A, afte r he had seen her one-act play presented at the New Orleans Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre. His advice and the quotation from Shakespeare "Virtue, itself, turn vice, being misapplied" were the inspiration for Mrs. LeBlanc's first novel.

The locale is the "Evangeline country" of Louisiana on Bayou T eche, where the atmosphere of old France, transplanted generations ago by highborn emigrees from the French Revolution exists today among their des ce nd· ants. Although the story is of three sisters in the modern setting of a small town called COte Verte, the ba ckgrou nd traces past glo ri es when sugar planters sprinkled moss-hung, live oaks with gold dust and imported giant fireflies from South Am erica to illuminate their daughters' weddings. The scene shifts to a neighboring plantation, "Magnolia," and to Newcomb College in New Orleans. Two chapters are devoted to the events of rush week and n B <l> is depicted as doing very nicely for itself, thank you.

Fate had endowed the three Ashton sisters with generous gifts , To Gratia went brilliant intellect, to Zoe a dangerous beauty, to Ninette a valiant spirit, though she played an inferior role to either sister without resent· ment. How each virtue was misapplied with ensuing complications and the eventual solv· ing of intricate family problems, forms the plot of the nove l.

THE AUTHOR: Doris Kent uBlanc was born in Kentwood , Louisiana, a town eighty miles above New Orleans, founded by her grandfather, After fr om Newcomb. she spent four years on the staff of the Times·Phayune, doi.ng general reporting and feature writing. She is married to Frank V LeBlan c and lives in New Orleans, "Everybodv who ever worked on a newspaper means to write a novel some day," she explained.

When that "some d..lY" arrived, she sent the manuscript to a house chosen from a newspaper book s«tion, they seemed to have more light novels revieww than any other publisher. " Through what she modestly calls beginner 's luck , it was accepted and she was given a contract res erv· op ti o n on her next two books.

Mrs. , LeBlanc has always been active in alumnr work and is at present correspo nding se<:retary for the New Orleans Oub,

WHAT THE ReVIEWERS SAY: "Mrs. LeBlanc'S pleasant chronicle of their (the daughters') contrasti ng ways when they grew up is persuasive and unpretentious."-Ntw Y ork Herald -Tribune.

"All of Mrs uBlanc's characters , major and minor, are finely wrought. There are no partially realized peop le and there are no scenes with loose ends. The book throughout is intelligently and neatly done."-Timts·Pirayune,

"The entice work is marked by a maturity of technique that is nothing sho rt of astounding in any artistic first born."- New Orleans [I em· Tribune,

The Beginnin gs of Li fe and D ea th has as its theme the origin of life on earth and the

coming of death into the universe It is a collection of stories written for progressive sc hools and liberal church schools. The stories are taken from the mythologies of many cultures and religions (Bushmen, Mayan , Egyptian, Hebrew, American Indian , etc.) After the presentation of the mythological accounts, the present day sc ientific attitudes are given. The aim is to a id children in r ea lizing that people have always asked questions, about these two great mysteries of mankind, and have developed answers varying with their knowledge and culture. The hope is that they will accept no final answer but learn to think the problem through and that they will relate their feeling to the feeling and experience of all people- She brings to the writing of this book the viewpoint of both minister and child psychologist.

THE CO·AUTHOR: Doro thy Tild e n Spoerl graduated from Lombard College and r eceived a Master 's from Boston University.

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY: " Re to ld tales of f olklore from many parts of the world and mystical stories of the past give us good literature which serves as a fine introduction to a thoroughly sound, modern·day conception of the beginnings of life and the meaning o f death. The highest praise that I could give is to say that it is exactly the kind of book I would like my children to read and study." W. Linwood Chase, Headmast er N e w· ton (Mas sac husetts) Country Day School.

POET IN COLLEGE

CERTAINTY"

By BETTIE MAE JOHNSON, Montana A

At I ast I know And know it's so, That wherever you go I want to go. There isn ' t room Fo r o ne small doubt I'm not just sure How it Cllme about, But , know for once, I know for a ll That my small world Would sure ly fall, If from my liJe You chance to stray And dreams would darken Day o n day

While still an undergraduate at Montana State College, Bettie Mae Johnson had the exciting experience of having two of her poems printed in the Ch,iJlmaJ Cavalcade 0/ V"Je, She has written and illustrated a chil-

d ecn 's poem which is in book form and whi ch she hopes to ha ve published this win · ter " I have seve r al idea s for more of t h e same," she says, "an d there are a f ew notions for a s hort novel ratt lin g around in my head ."

As a freshman, Bett ie was president of the pledges and was act ivity chairman in her junior and senior yea rs. She graduated from co llege last June and is a t present "a ll emp-

tina to find a teaching position." Her hobbies include sk iing , co llecting phonograph re co rds , and flyin g, with keen anticipation of so me d ay piloting h e r own plane . She has written many other poems in the last few years, but the two appearing in the Cavalcade of V erse are the only ones publ ished. This Pi Beta Phi modestly reports that they ju st come to her a nd she writes them down . They merit reading .

POET OF LITTLE PIGEON

Several years ago, a little girl enrolled in the lirst grade at the II B Settlement Schoo!. Implanted th en , were the seeds of in sp iration that was to know its flowerin g in

yea rs to co me For out of that year's impress ions came a g roup of poems of exquisite beauty, of deep understandi ng, of uncommon merit .

Th e li ttle g irl was Dorothy Roberts , daughter of Elizabeth Wh eele r Robe rts , Massachusetts A, a teacher in the Settlement Scboo!. Last June, Dorothy's g roup of " Little Pigeon Poems" wo n the Elizabeth Babcock Poetry Prize at Smith College. While Dorothy feels a debt to the Settlement School, our Fratern ity should feel indebted to her, for here at last is a poet w ho under stand s

the people, who know s the meaning of their mountains . It is regrettable that space does not allow all the poems of the group to be printed here Regrettable too , is that they are not yet available in book form for not only Pi Beta Phis but all to read. The lirst nine poems , of which the following is one, give the poet ' s recollections and form the ba ckground for the final narrative poem.

THE UTILE PIGEON-

This mountain ri ve r growing in the pine Will neve r lose th e yo uth that I ha ve known, Will n eve r le ssen aft er I ha ve grow n Into a rip er year. Th e white s tones sh ine Eternally- th o ugh I wou ld make them mine For ju st one in sta nt- and would sto p the tone To hold it breathle ss ly, before it's blown On-on-beyond me as th e years untwine. But never may our tread disturb a p lace Or change its aspect, though we 've pressed full lo ng Our hand s against thi s earth to leave some trace That we have felt, and l oved here, and gro wn strong.

HER SPECIALTY IS COOKING

By SALLY CHIPMAN, lIfanitoba A

People stop her in the street and in the shops and say: "You are Miss Middleton, aren't you?" Small wonder, for Katharine Middleton's picture has appeared in the WilllIipeg Tribllne every day for four years. Her newspaper column, "The Winnipeg Home," also goes over the air every morning. CjRC, Winnipeg, and two Saskatchewan stations carry the fifteen minute program.

After her first broadcast, last November, when Sally dropped into the newsroom to tell the managing editor that everything had gone well, editors, reporters , and copy boys stopped work to applaud. The office radio, usually devoted to police ca lls, had that morning favored a member of the staff.

Sally is a dual personality. To her newspaper and radio public she is a dignified Katharine. In the Pi Phi world she has always been a more light-hearted Sally.

Cookery plus newspaper, plus radio make a fascinating career. But there is little time left for idle chatter . Sally is now turning out between lS ,OOO and 20,000 words each week. She has no time to rehearse her radio talks and ifs in the lap of the gods whether the last cup of butter gets on the air. So far the gods have been good.

Her office phone buzzes frequently. It may be a young bride in difficulty with a recipe, or a little girl home from school at fourthirty, phoning Miss Middleton for a chocolate fudge recipe. Summer bachelors ask how their wives do this and that. One distracted young husband wanted to know how to get the canary off the piano and back Into his cage. Old country folk want the recipe for that English dish they enjoyed thirty years ago. To cope with telephone enquiries, which must be answered on the spot, Sally keeps a file of all her columns and some forty books on household arts. These frequent telerhone en'Juiries, and an increasing volume 0 mail whICh comes from widespread co rrespondents (recently a letter arrived from Texas!) have made the services of an assistant necessary.

Last fall Sally produced single-handed a 4S-page Cook Book supplement for the new spaper. The day after it appeared, the Provincial Government congratulated the paper on the excellence of the book, and requested 600 copies for distribution in the household

classes of the Youth Training centres throughout the province.

One section of the Cook Book , devoted to chjldren's cookery, aroused such widespread inteeest that Sally is now devoting her Monday n ewspaper column to "Lessons for

Little Cooks" and Saturday morning ··Children's Coolcing" is on the air. Two special features appear in the Saturday paper in addition to tfie cookery column, an article on budgeting and another on interior decorating.

Recently a young country lad put in his appearance at her office. "Dried out" in the Saskatchewan dust bowl, he had moved to Winnipeg. H e cherished newspaper ambitions, buL was without work. Would Miss Middleton plan his menus so that he could live well on 25 ce nts a day? Miss Middleton could and did. The boy wrote several articles on his cu linary experiences which pleased a hard-boiled city editor and found their way into the paper. So just at the moment he is no longer in the 25 cents a day class.

Cookery foUows ber wherever she goes, or rather Sally follows cookery. When she

takes her holidays in the late fall, after the canning sea son is well over and before Christmas entertaining has begun, she usually goes to eastern Canada and the eastern United States Queer little foreign restaurants always attract her attention She drops in, samples the dishes and questions the proprietor for their ingredients. She writes an occasional column on these escapades, clips the story and sends it to the proprietor.

Then , just to prove she can practice what she writes, Sally makes about 70 dozen deli cious shortbreads every Christmas and presents them to her friends

Sally ' s ability and charm were apparent in school days. She had the distinction of being the first head girl of her school, Rupert's Land Ladies' College, and received the gold medal for character at graduation, presented by Lady Aikins, wife of a lieutenant gov· ernor of Manitoba. During her five year course in Home Economics at the University of Manitoba she took part in extra curricular affairs and re ceived her second gold medal

for dramatics.

After graduation in 1929, Sally took six months' postgraduate work in hospital dietetics under Mary Foley, dietitian of the Kahler Corporation, as sociated with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Prior to joining the staff of the Tribune , she was food consultant and dietician in one of the city's largest department stores. This work included conducting a semi-annual cooking school where classes sometimes ex ceeded the five hundred mark.

Since entering newspaper work, SaUy's name and fame have spread so that she is much in demand as a speaker at women's groups, Despite this addition to an already over-full program , she finds time to participate in many club activities herself. She is president of the Manitoba Home Economics Association, a member of the Canadian Women's Press Club and of the Local Council of Women, and an enthusiastic supporter of the Winnipeg Alumn., Club of 11 B <1>, as well as many other activities

"DORIS OF BARKER BROTHERS"

and feeling that the small home owner had been neglected in to de corator help, she started the Doris Small Homes Studio at Barker Brothers, Los Angeles, with one decorator working under her. That was in 1937. Today, the Doris Small Homes Studio occupies the position of importan ce on the third floor, with twelve young decorators under the capable direction of Mrs Suman. Her object was to help people of excellent taste, but with limited incomes, achieve their ideal homes, Personally, Mrs . Suman trained twelve young college women to handle this particular problem, and gradually the Doris Small Homes Studio grew from an obscure corner on the sixth floor to a spacious section on the third , including a completely furnished six-room model home , and ten or twelve complete model room settings. Mrs. Suman and her assistants are now known as Barker Brothers' "Miracle Workers," because they accomplish so much, even with the most limited budgets

SHE'S A 'BIG SHOT' IN THE SHOOTING WORLD

By DORIS MciLROY, Fl orida r Pledge

She's the nation's leading dead-eye Dora, but there is none of that rough and ready look about skeet-shooting Pat Laursen of Akron, Ohio.

"Lady skeet-shooters wear skirts or run the risk of getting booed off the field by the men," she said, when interviewed.

And she shouJd know. For even in slacksconscious California where she won her second straight women's Championship the ladies donned dresses when they competed.

Skeet-shooting is still a man's game although the ranks of women shooters are growing. And their word is law even in the feminine domain of fashion.

" There are no rules, of course," Pat said, "but we know the men don't like us in shorts or slacks so we don't wear them."

Pat, who has been shooting since she was fifteen, has her skeet-jacket literally covered with badges attesting to her ability.

She is the only person ever to hold three majQ[ titles at one time. Last year she was Great Eastern, Midwest and Nationals champion. She is the only person ever to repeat in national championship. She was the only woman in the 1938 All ·American Skeet Team, selected by a board of experts, and she is the youngest woman to hold a championship.

And when they say of Pat Laursen that she "s hoots 96" that means of 100 "birds" or sma ll disks thrown into the air her shots hit

an average of ninety-six of them. When she graduates from Rollins College in Florida , Pat wants to be-a dress designer.

OF MANY INTERESTS: GLADYS REINEKE FINCH, MICHIGAN B

By MARJORIE BRIGHT SHARPE, TexaJ A

"She's the sort of person who does so many different things and does them all so well"-an apt quotation describing the inherent personality of a most interesting member of n B .p. Her varied activities amaze her many friends, he r gracious and charming hospitality spells real enjoyment for her guests, and her genuine interest in n B a nd all that it stands for make Gladys Reineke Finch a veritable inspiration. Perhaps the principal reason that Gladys Finch is so interesting and such a warm, wholesome person is that sh e is vitally absorbed with life and everything pertaining to the business of living. She is not content with one hobby , but busies herself with many. She is unceasingly charmed by people, places, and things, and she derives from the everyday experience of meeting and talking with others a thrill and joy the average person overlooks.

Gladys Reineke was graduated from the University of Mi ch igan in 1925. While she was in she held more than the usual number of fraternity offices and distinguished herself in more than her expected share of extracurricular activities. She was manager of the Fraternity house one year- probably it was then she received her very splendid grounding in what to and what not to serve at the proper time and how to be an excellent "budgetee r" later on of her own household accounts. During the summers of her college years, she worked on two new spapers - the lAnsing Slale lottrnal and the OwoJSo Argf/!. Incidentally, Gladys was born in Owosso , a city in Michigan which has come in for an unusual amount of publicity lately as the boyhood home of New York 's fiery and indomitable district attorney, Thomas Dewey Knowing Gladys and what one can hear and read about Mr. Dewey, Owosso must be a sure-fire breeding ground for outstanding personalities.

She taught languages for two years in Greenville, Michigan. At this time, she met her husband , potential, Hugh Finch. Later, they were married and moved to Detroit where Gladys , with ama.zing rapidity , became a necessary entity of the alU11lllre club. She

held various club offices working up to becoming president of the entire dub during 1933 and 193 4.

By this time, she had her mind made up to pursue some definite hobbies and she dec ided it would be interesting for her- to say nothing of what she would be doing for others- to study Braille at the Detroit Le ague for the Handicapped Through her teacher she submitted a trial manuscript, done by hand with the aid of a Braille stencil , to Washington. Her work was accepted and was thought so well of that she was given a Braill e typewriter. Needless to say, the re ce ipt of this machine saved her much time and e nergy in doing her subse<:Juent work. Sin ce that time she has done fifteen novels and live textbooks in Braille besides a number of misceUaneous short, but nevertheless helpful "jobs" for the blind . To mention only a few- a church monthly, a Detroit Street Guide for a truckrouter at the Goodwill Indu str ies , and a bird manual for a blind Boy Scout.

She has been to four II B conventions; those held in Asbury Park, Yellowstone, Chicago, and Asheville . She heartily enjoys them and for those who have not been fortunate enough to attend a national convention the next best thing would be to listen to Gladys Finch describe one with her pleasing ca ndor and graphic sidelights.

The reader may begin to wonder just when and how Gladys Finch manages to squeeze in her housework. She does somehow and with what result s I Her duplex apartment reflects her charm minutely and is always immac ulately presentable . Gladys entertains with enviable ease and grace. She has no maid, but manages to create the delightful effect that her parties are/repaced and executed by a staff of traine servants. Presto, before the guests realize what is going on , they are served a delicious concoctio n of choice edibles on a cloth, most generally embroidered by their hostess in her spare moments Just as quickly the table is cleared and the scene set for an afternoon or evening of cards. The pleasant feeling created by the charming and solicitous hostess emanates to

the guests and the result is a perfect time for all with most of the ladies present going away wondering how Gladys does it. She has no children of her own , but she loves c hildren, and looks forward every summer to having her small niece and nephew spend part of their vacation with her . Another onc of her many accomplishments is playing the plano.

Truly , Gladys Fin ch is a dynamo , She's a Pi Phi of whom the Fraternity can well be

proud and she's still a young woman, When one thinks of all she does and has done in the years gone by, it is incredibly fascinating to speculate on what she will do in the years to come. I'd be safe to surmise, however, the new hobbies she does pursue and the new interests she does acquire will be fitting additions to her already long list of absorbing activities and that she will continue to be an outstanding member of n B <1>,

We need many like her ,

FIESTA QUEEN

Anna H arley, Texas A, is pictured resplendent in the royal robe worn as Queen of the Court of the Italian Renai ssa nce in the Fiesta de San Jacinta which marks the anniversary of San Aotonio' s grandest historical and social ce lebration , The costume, a dazzling gold and scarlet reproduction of a Catherine de Medici robe, has an elaborate train emblazoned with jeweled fleur-de -lis, on whose border may be seen the exact motif of the portrait of ' Catherine, the Medici crest and balls, and the crown worn by Cosima de Medici.

OUR GOLF CHAMPION

To Betty Jameson, Texas A, of San Antonio, has come the national woman's go lf championship, eli · maxing a golfing career that started when she was twelve years old and won the Dallas championship. Since then she has gone from victory to victory-a nd still her ambition is unlimited. She wants to win the n ational championship at least five times more, to equal the record now held by Glenna Collett Vare. And besides, she works at designing sport's dresses at Bonwit Teller's, in New York. She was featured wearing her dresses in October issues of V ogue and Har per'S Bazaar,

THE QU I LT MAD!! 8Y THE M OT H ERS OF THE PARENT TEACHEitS ASSOCIAT I ON W I LL BE RAFFLED OFF ON OW T IMEkS' DAY

It was a l uc ky g ro up o f vi s itin g Co mmittee m embe rs wh o we re h and ed th e above prog ram the Saturd ay befor e o ur r eg ular meeting beg an on Mond ay. W e sat in the front ro w of the hig h sc hoo l audi t orium, su rround ed by cro wds of peo pl e who had come from up th e mount a in roa d s for miles around to see and hea r a ll th at this anniversa ry o ff ered, Fan s were wield ed with gre at enthu siasm all about US, for it wa s a very warm d ay On th e stage were seated the speakers of the day and in th e rooms to e ach side were gathered a re stl e ss g roup, some twanging st rings of t heir mu s ica l in s truments and some sc rewin g up courage to take p art in th e day' s prog ram. Photog r ap he rs repr esentin g th e T e nn essee St ate D ep a rtmen t of Conservat io n and oth e rs i nteres te d in th e occas ion stood ready w ith th e ir fl ash bul bs to reco rd th e comi ng eve nts.

The p rog ram was fo ll o wed very much

g ive n a bo ve. Me. Eli M cCa rter opened w ith a talk o n t h e o ld f amilies o f the reg ion H e is a g rea t-g reat g ra nds on of William O g le, re la ti ve o f th e fir st O g le in this section , Thoma s, whose num erou s descendant s ent e r into every p hase of community l if e in Gatl inburg. Mr . Radford Gatlin for who m th e settlement of White O ak Flats was re christe n ed and who was it s fir st postmaster, app a rentl y ha s no represe ntative of hi s name in the neighborhood. But the old names of Huff , Ownby, R eagan, M cCarter, a nd others are ech oed in every g roup on e meet s in Gatlinburg today.

A mos Rea ga n, th e pres ident, a youngi sh m a n who vig oro us ly le d a ll th e activities , s pok e of th e first Old Time rs ' cel ebration in 1927 whe n Miss Hi gg in botham was th e nurse , Mr. Steve Wh aley, ow n e r and o pe rato r o f t he Ri versi de H otel , to ld t a l.. of his ea rly

days here in the mountains. He mentioned wearing shoes made of bearskins and after making a glowing tribute to Mothers concluded thus: "This world is big enough for any young man who has' any ambition in life. Nobody has ever been on relief in Gatlinburg and I hope none of our young men ever will b " e.

The string band which began the regular program was lively and colorful, consisting of four pieces led by Red Maples. They played old mountain musi c and had the whole audience tapping time . After several numbers Amos Reagan asked the hog callers to step forward and had some little difficulty in overcoming the shyness of those in the audience best equipped to compete. With a "Come on now, don't make me beg you," he got some response and after the first few had taken their places on the stage, diffiden ce seemed to disappear and the fun began in earnest. Aunt Sally Compton won the most applause and thereby first place with Uncle George Ogle a close second. Aunt Sally was anxiously pushing Uncle George into position when they appeared to receive their money prizes, but Uncle George disliked ·being bustled about and retorted, "Long as you ain't courti n', don't matter what side you git on."

The husband ca llers came next and their comments after a hearty whoop varied around this theme, "Hey pap, hep pap, come on to your dinner or I'll eat it up ." Mollie Moore won first in this class. Cow calling produced several original styles-"She's dry- I'll call her though - Hoohoo come on you old heifer you!" or " Old Red 's way down at Brute 's field, I'll have to call her pretty loud," which won the event for Uncle George Ogle.

Harkness Ogle walked away with the doubtful honor of ugliest man- though he seemed proud enough. The most old timey dressed woman in black basque, bonnet, and ruffled skirt over a hand-woven striped wool petticoat was Aunt J uliane Margaret Thumb from Possum Hollow. She and Mr. Tom Franklin, in old coat and carryi ng a hog riBe and a powder horn at his belt celebrated their victory with a buck and wing dance . From the back of the room now appeared a man very like his nam e-Husqu e (pronounced husky) Trevena, who was to lead the harp singing . I asked one of the old folks in front of me how he spelled his name, sin ce I had no program at hand and his response was "Just any way he feels like,

I reckon." I wish all of you could have heard the deep religious tones of the choru s of men's voices that followed. Harp s inging has always been a mystery to me since I first saw the books with only gueer shaped notes to indi cate the tune, but by the time the songs were finished, I was quite c onvinced of the beauty and effectiveness of it.

A youngster of twelve or so, Junior Trentham, was so apt with his words and so well versed in song that he captured the prizes both for the funniest joke and the ballad singing. The next event brought forward all the oldest of ihe Old Timers. They were helped up the steps onto the stage and were lined up according to age-all above seventy-five got a prize. The oldest was Mr. Riley King, a small man with Bowing white beard and twinkling eyes- eighty-nine years old. Unfortunately it was hi s last chance to win for he died the following week.

There were on ly two whisker contestants , the top prize winner being Harry Ri ce, a young man in the government service . H e had rea lly endured a good deal of derisive comment in the process of initial whisker cult ivation.

After one of the younger element (Ocia Ownby, Jr.) had played him self into first place for musicians, there was intermission for lun ch. The school playground was soon filled with bright spots of co lor, groups of mothers and children, grandparents indulgent ly looking on, men hobnObbing and telling the tales that had failed to be produced for the pl easure of the audience. Musicians tuned up and had a ring of enthusiasts about them and the co ld drink stand had a steady stream of customers. Soon hunger was appeased, limbs sufficiently stretclled, and the crowd trooped ba ck indoors to elect Amos Reagan president for the corning year, as he really deserved to be. We are told he has a persuasive way that charms the merchants into hearty finan cial support.

After the corn shucking prize had been awarded to Mr. A. C. Mashburn, the crowds again scattered, some to see the women's events and some to cross the road and watch the hog rifle contest on the other side of the creek. Aunt Lizzie Reagan won the carding and sp inning ; Myrtle Conner the weaving, and Pearl M aples the sewing. To a small boy, to a man , or to the mother of an enthusiastic son, the shooting seemed much more lively. Some of the old riBes were made of decorative curly maple with line metal work

and dated back to the revolutionary war . They had served their families well in early times, had been treasured and cared for and had often meant the subsistence of their owners. They are loaded by pouring powder from an old horn into the gun barrel, easing it down by knocking on the barrel; then a small rag is wadded into the gun with a long metal rod, the bullet following in the same manner A tiny flint iSlushed into a hole just below the trigger an the gun is ready to be fired , making a mighty impression on the target and the earth around it

The day was concluded by a baseball game which was enthusiastically cheered by a large number of spectators , although a few people at a time had been leaking out through the gates and the celebration was gradually draw ing to a close. The wails of tired babies, the shouts of small boys, were gradually stilled and we walked over to sit on the porch at the Teachers Cottage and congratulate our· selves on not having missed this day of Commemorat ion.

PERN PRJCE'S SoAP-Box DERBY

OUf second year of supervised summer playground work under the grammar school principal, Mr. Price, was punctuated during the committee meeting by a soap.box derby. Ever since school was out his group of boys

had worked all day and every day in the shop and turned out a creditable array of vehides, for whi ch even the wheels were hand·made and covered with pieces of old auto tires. Since there was no available hill , the cars must be boy . powered . One lad would steer and one push from the rear. The course was laid out over the playground with red Rags at every corner. The ra ce was run in groups of three, the winners racing each other for the final prize Of course the grass was not an easy surface over whi ch to propel these hand made disk wheels and there were times when the autos failed to budge and the pusher had to stop and begin all over. But their enthusia sm never failed and with cheers from staff, committee members and relatives, the race was successfully run. One small boy of five was tossed out on rounding a flag, but he was up and back in his car so quickly that he really deserved especially to win the final event- and sur · prised none of us by doing it.

A prize was given for the best entry, which was richly decorated with windshield and other accessories showing the ingenuity of its young builder When the last panting contestant had pushed his car over the line, the boys trooped away, led by Mr. Price who had promised ice cream to all those who took part.

THETA SIGMA PHI TO HOLD "WORK CONFERENCE" AT N. U.

SOME PHILANTHROPIES

Phi Mu maintains a Healthmobile, which in connection with child hygiene, operates through Georgia, the state of the founding of the Fraternity. Much could be written of the good this Healthmobile has carried to the isolated parts of the state . Kappa Delta supports a ward in the Crippled Children's Hospital of Richmond, Virginia, Virginia being the state of the Fraternity's founding. Several of the fraternities carry on work in the southern mountains, either independently or in conjunction with other agencies. Delta Zeta maintains a center at Vest, Kentucky. Beta Sigma Omicron aids in the support of Pine Mountain Settlement School in Kentucky. Alpha Xi Delta gives definite financial support each year to the Carcassonne Community Center, a mountain school in Letcher County, Kentucky. In 1931 Alpha Omicron Pi adopted as its national philanthropy the frontier social serv ice, initiating this work by the establishment of a social service department to function in conjunction with the f contier nursing service in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Alpha Delta Theta provides books, games, and toys for the children and adults of Moores Creek, North Caro l ina, through Buffalo School of that place. In 1929 Z T A opened a health center in Cu rrin Valley, near Marion, Virginia. This work was estab lish ed in honor of the founders and the mother state. The work is widely comprehensive, encompassing the health and general rehabilitation of the mountain folk of that region. At Berea College in Kentucky (') Y maintains a Health Fund, administered by the college, to aid Berea students in need of medical attention.

Gamma Phi Beta in 1929 adopted a plan of summer camps for underprivileged children which has been successfully conducted since that time.

Alpha Chi Omega maintains scholarships for children 14-16 years of age to enable them to remain in high school or to train them for suitable vocations.

l K provides for the maintenan ce of two social workers on the isolated islands and

headlands of the Maine coast. These women, in cooperation with the Main Seacoast Missionary Society, make possible the opportunity for development along educational lines for more than sixty scattered communities on the northern New England coast. At Christmas time gifts are sent to more than 1000 children in this Maine Seacoast Mission area.

The IlJini Frat ernal Graphic is a magazine to be published every two weeks at the University of llJinois. "The primary object of the Graphic/' says the editor, "will be to promote an interest among high school students in the University of Illinois and the fraternities and sororities at the university. It is felt that these organizations have received adverse publicity in the past few years and hopes that the Graphic in presenting the true side will offset this.

The publication will be financed by the eighty -one fraternities and sororities. The magazine will be circulated among the members of the organizations and the high schools of the state. Leading articles in the first number are by the Dean of Men, Fred Turner; Dean of Women, Maria Leonard; and President Willard and show the objects, aims , and benefits of these organizations.

Chi Omega's annual National Achievement Award was presented to Miss Rachel Crothers, eminent dramat ist. The presentation was made at the White House and Mrs . Roosevelt presented the award before three hundred friends and admirers of Miss Crothers .

TIle October issue of the Phi G a mma Delta magazine presents an "album of homes" to show the attra ctive living quarters of the undergraduates Of the 73 chapters all but four own their own , with the appraisal of value of between two and two and a half million.

The interfraternity coun cil at the University of Minnesota has made a study of the costs of fraternity membership. It found that the dollar the fraternity man in college gives his chapter goes roughly as follows: 42 pe r cent for food (whi ch is sold to him at cost), 39 per cent for the house he lives in and which almost a lways is supe ri or to oth er living accommodat ion s he might obtain; 13 pe r cent for social activities (at cost) ; less than 6 per cent for material fees and general expense.

The undesirable publicity given fraternities by Life' J presentation of rushing at Ohio

State was branded as harmful by several speakers- at the National Inl ee{ rateroity Conference in New York City . j Frederi ck Stecker, I A E, assistant dean of men at Ohio State, said that when his ollice learned of the plan of Lif. to report pictorially fraternity men and manners at Columbus he wrote a letter to the editors outlining the construc· tive activities of the fraternities and asking for fair treatment. That letter, he reported, was ignored , and the pictures, such as neck · ing sce nes, were faked and posed.

Phi Delta Theta has strengthened its position as the third largest fraternity by the addition of chapters at the University of Richmond and the University of Louisiana . t. 0, a 23 -year old local , was chartered at the former institution to revive a chapter that existed from 1873 to 1895, and t. was the sllcc(Ssful petitioner at Louisiana .

Buildin.:' That word has taken on new .significlnce for Utah A •. Around It tan&ible and intangIble thinls Ire being bUIlt to Ircater m:illhu than the University has before ltumed.

Foremost m the exciting series is tbe build in of • new Will' on the chapter house. With remodrl,"••nd redecorating the house WIll have :110 eagerl y a ited ChiP' ter room , In enlltled dlDini: room. bcdrOOOls to accom· modate the ever mcreum, number of out·Of·towD giri.s l I powder room, a new suite for tbe house mother, .nc:t other Improvemmts and IddituXIS.

The cornerstone of the bUIld n.ll;. financially spelleing. was tbe receipts from the b.g fasbion preview October 28. For. wide appeal, members of the M otbers' Club. the alumnr club, and the .ctive chlpter. displayed dotbrs from Ont of tbe cit(s luding department stores. The buy· ers had tbe show '" mInd when thC")' made their latest fall purchasrtl from the designers.

Anotber finlnci l l brick was added t o the bu'lding from .n infonDal d.nce given Sc:ptrmber 14. MonC")'.mak.ing schemes Ind Inticipl t ion Jive assurance thlt tbe new house will be budt, brick by bflcle, with rapid succus.

BuildillJt o n the campus is not restricted to fraternity row. The University proudly .nnounces the addition of a much needed field houle. The restricti ons ol the old, small gymnasium arc erlsed. and glorious in the sportin& field .re offered by the RC"W bUlldin,lt which will .dcqu.tely Indoor football Ind basleetball.

Building by th e University goes bcrond Ithletics to • new M ines and MeuUur,ical Build ing t o ccp'1.cr: the one which burned down lut sprinl. The new bUIlding "Will be the home of this s br.ncb of the United States Bureau of M ints.

Buildio, on also in a leu tangible wly .t the University. This fall it takes the form of improvement of cia" schedules Ind • cb.nge in class hours "Which will modernize Ind simplify the school program. Cluses which formerly began I t twenty minutes after the hour now begin at the hour. Tbis provides I longer luncb period and offers In .dditioful bour for classes hereto· fore unn-libble.

Periups the most important buildinR of III is tbat of the chlpter itself. Our bi.ll; fill rush tea August 24 was the architect for that building of this year. Chlrming Icti ves. all in white form.1 dresses. drifted thr ou llh the spacious home Ind c.nyon Itlrden. of alumni Fr.nces P.rkins. Rusbres were Introduc(d to the advantaget: of fraternitv life and particularly of IT D + from .11 angles. scbo last ic to social.

Altht)uAh the system of deferred rushing in effect here permits no off.campus rushing with • one tea exception, the spirit Ind friendliness of n B 4> is mlde evident to prospective rusbers by lun cheon and footb.1I game meet· '"8s The chapter fulll supports the tea m , going to the g.rnes ,,, mllJJ'.

BUlldillJt continues in the spirit of the chapter too The first merting broUlht the members to,ltether aRai n , Ind thou,th they were hlndiclpped by the inabi l ity to use the house. the meding .nd chapter din n e r took on the uprcts of I party.

This buildinA of ROod will was further evidenced It a swimmin,: .nd brid,e pam held for freshmln little .istrrs at the country bome of Alice and Marie M oy le

So buildin,lt. outward, upward. and on. seem. to be the icevnQk as UtahA be.ins the new school year. Spring ... iIl tell if the plans and blueprints have become solid structures.

ANNE ELIZABETH STUART, Nebraska B, initiated November 23, 1895, the /irst year of the history of that chapter, died at her home in Lincoln, Nebraska, September 23, 1939, after a brief illness.

Few members of IT B <l> have made so significant a contribution to the life of the fraternity as did Anne Stuart_ She was Grand Treasurer from 1912 to 1925; she was a member of the Settlement School Committee in 1911-1912, president of old Delta Province, 1904-1906, and of old Gamma Province, 1906-1912; her last service was as a member of the Board of Trustee Funds of the Fraternity, where her knowledge of banking affairs was of utmost importance. For many years Anne and her late sister, Melinda, also Nebraska B, were strong supporters of their chapter, helping in the building of the beautiful chapter house, and aiding in every activity of the girls. A brilliant pianist, she was a pupil of Fannie Bloomfield Ziesler; she was a member of n K A, musical fraternity , and a patroness of l: A J. Prominent in every activity of her home city, especially Y_W.CA_, Order of the Eastern Star, and P.E-O., Anne Stuart will be greatly missed_
