86 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

A t our next meeting we are to hold a memorial service for Ethel
Frances Parker whose influence is still one of the guiding factors in
our group. We are hoping that little Billy Francis Parker, who is growing
beautifully, will be able to be with us that day.

CLEVELAND ALUMNAE

Mrs. William Mould entertained the chapter with a luncheon at her
home, September 16, in honor of our new bride, Mrs. Hoy Stevens.
Before her marriage, August 15, at Old Stone Church, Cleveland, she
was Avis Coultas, Iota. M r . Stevens is a Case graduate, a member of
Theta Tau fraternity. M r . and Mrs. Stevens are living at 7214 Linwood
Avenue. Avis spent several weeks this summer at the New York School
of Social Work. We all expected her to be a full-fledged social service
worker this fall, but gracious, she surprised us! But it's a woman's
prerogative to change her mind. Mrs. Mould has just recently moved
into her new home at 1642 Marlow Avenue. Twelve Alpha Os who were
present at the meeting were glad to make the acquaintance of her mother,
Mrs. Mclnncss, from Chicago, who is visiting Edna; and of sturdy Billy,
2y2 years old.

Vivian Day went home to Anderson, Indiana, for a vacation. Fond
parents who had scarcely seen her f o r years prevailed upon her to remain
home. We miss her dreadfully. She visited Cleveland the last of Sep-
tember for a few days.

Margaret Weybrite has also deserted us, having returned to the U n i -
versity of Indiana. However, we still have her sister Isabel.

When Phi Beta Kappa held its triennial convention in Cleveland this
summer three Alpha Os were present, Marie Andrews, Margaret Angell,
and Avis Coultas.

But new recruits are entering the chapter. Marion Arthur, Omcea,
1922, is teaching at the deaf school, and likewise Gerry Meek, Rho '22,
will be with us.

( i n t r u d e Kray is serving on the jury. She says she enjoys it.
Florence Keyerleber has completed her Associated Charities training,
and is resting f o r a while. Beryl Zemer had a wonderful trip to the
coast with her parents this summer, and drove all the way. She has
a new address, 8110 Carnegie Avenue.
Miriam Smith spent a month in Boston.
Edna Mould was elected to represent A 0 IT in the Cleveland Pan-
hellenic Association.
June seems a long time ago, but the picnic we held at Martha Whit-
worth's beautiful country home in Gates Mill should be mentioned. Nine
of us, with our husbands or friends, were present.
Lucile Dvorak is a reporter on the Cleveland Press.
A t our last meeting we adopted a new plan. Every year the Cleve-
land chapter is to raise $100 to be used as a scholarship fund, which will
not be awarded until $100 is in reserve in the treasury. Accordingly,
the first award will be made in 1924.

A L U M N A E LETTERS

Roberta Williams Divine and Harriette Williams Melton.
The following letter came in answer to a frenzied appeal for "news"
to Roberta Williams Divine, of Chattanooga. A t the risk of calling down
her ire, I send it, quite unauthorized, feeling sure that to many who remem-
ber the all-too-rare visits of "the Williamses" and their wonderful Christ-
mas boxes to the whole of Omicron Chapter, the news will be of general
interest.
" . . . Harriette first. I ' l l tell you two or three things I think inter-
esting and you can use what you like. Barberton, Ohio, you know, is
practically a suburb of Akron, and Harriette belongs to the Akron Pan-
hellenic. They give monthly parties, when the different sororities take
turns at playing hostess, and Harriette has, with other Alpha Os, been
hostess twice. There are almost enough A. O. Pis in Akron for an
alumnae chapter of their own. They've been lovely to Harriette, and it
has meant so much to her—it's been almost like having her own family
near. Besides Panhellenic, Hat belongs to a good many other clubs. To
quote William Green Hill's friend Jimmy, 'she's about the dandiest joiner
they is,' but she didn't steal it, for her daddy before her was one. She's
secretary of the Barberton Woman's Club, "has contributed some really
good papers and reviews to the Study Club, is a member of a luncheon
club, a bridge club and a sewing club. She has become noted in her home
town f o r her clever ideas, executive ability, and willingness to co-operate,
so that there is no fair, bazaar, amateur play, church supper, or commun-
ity doings of any kind that does not seek her aid. I'm right proud of her!
I don't know what she's planning to do (besides joining the Golf Club),
but I do know that she and her husband had a wonderful vacation trip
this summer. They motored from Barberton and swung around in a giant
circle that included sightseeing and visiting in Cincinnati, Lexington,
Mammoth Cave, Nashville and Chattanooga, where we had a real old-
fashioned Southern family reunion for her; then on to Atlanta, King's
Mountain, Raleigh, Fredericksburg, Washington, Gettysburg and home.
"As for me, I am my popular sister's exact antithesis. I am neither
public-spirited, social-minded, nor energetic in the behalf of others! I
have lost my figure, but kept my head. 'Reading, riding and ruralizing'
will about cover my activities. I am taking an extension course at the
University of Chattanooga. I have a small farm (which my husband
insists on calling an 'experiment station') right next door to Fort Ogle-
thorpe in North Georgia. Here I'm raising strawberries and asparagus,
with a young orchard on the way, and some of the prettiest Jersey cattle
you ever saw. Besides, I have a wonder garden this summer, and I
developed into a champion canner trying to take care of my surplus ber-
ries, vegetables and fruit. I have a trusty Ford, which I drive like Jehu,

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI B9

and in which my family and I made a trip to Washington this s u m m e r -
not mv first, by any means, but nearly the nicest, as Tennessee s Senator
McKellar is an old friend of my father's and, thanks to his courtesy and
hospitality, we got a taste of real Washington life. We came back
through the Land of the Sky—a pleasant ending to a pleasant trip. As
to what I am planning to do, it is to come to Knoxville with greater
frequency than ever, because, with a young brother-in-law at Tennessee,
I now have a legitimate excuse f o r coming as often as I like."

their diplomas. Judith Sollenberger is working on her Master's Degree
in English at the University of Illinois, having received a scholarship.
Wava Doty is located in Fort Wayne, where she is engaged in the insur-
ance business which, according to her report, is very complicated. Helen
Williams is teaching in Angola, Ind., quite near Fort Wayne. Betty Heib
recently moved with her parents to Covington, Ky., and is teaching i n the
Newport High School, the two towns really being one.

Boston and neighboring towns are claiming several Theta girls this
winter. Pauline Place is working on her Master's at Boston University,
where Dr. Merlin, an alumnus of DePauw, is President. She expects to
return to Japan in the spring. Vcville Hosman and Emma L. Biedenharn
are both studying in the Emerson School. Hazel Kilbourne Stockbarger
has entered Radcliffe College in order to complete her work begun at
DePauw. She and M r . Stockbarger are living at 74 Kirkland street, Cam-
bridge, Mass.

Helen O'Rear, after studying two years in Boston University, received
the Degree of Master of Religious Education last June. During the sum-
mer she visited in Greencastle, going in September to Washington, D . C ,
where she is Director of Religious Education in the Foundrv Methodist
Church. Her address is 1602 Sixteenth St., N . W .

Three of Theta's members, Mary and Edna Bicknell and Louise
Hauck, are taking Nurses' Training in the Presbvterian Hospital, Chicago,
111. Belle McCready Hawker has moved to 524 Woodbine Ave., Oak

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Park, 111. Her ambition is to have the Theta girls located in and near
Chicago meet at a luncheon this winter. Marguerite Norris is teaching
in Riverside, 111. Grace Norris is teaching in Rensselaer, Ind., and also is
Dean o f Girls in the High School. This summer the Norris girls made
an extended trip through the west visiting Bernice Canady and Esther
Canady Day in Glendale, Cal. They returned via the Canadian Rockies,
spending some time at the different points of interest.

Ruby Kemp Remley has removed f r o m Louisiana to Custer, S. D.,
where she is teaching in one of the Primary Departments while her hus-
band is in charge of the Science. They have been trying mountain climb-
ing as a pastime and have been quite successful for beginners.

Louisiana is claiming June Morris this year as she is an instructor in
Biology in the State Normal School at Natchitoches. She is delighted
with her work and is finding the town most interesting as it is the second
oldest town west of the Mississippi river. June was pleased to find Irma
Soinpayrac living in this town, but her joy was dampened when she found
Miss Sompay rac leaving immediately f o r Columbia University.

The Bctz twins are teaching in the same towns they were last year;
Mildred in M t . Carmel, 111., and Margaret in Flora, 111. As usual they
look forward to the week ends that they can spend together and they
arc planning to make a trip to Greencastle soon.

Wilhelmina Heddc is teaching English, Public Speaking and Debate at
Moorhead, Minn. On her trip north she had the good fortune to meet
Mary Ellen Chase and not only Miss Chase, but the Chase family as well.
Marie Hedde is at home in Logansport, Ind., and Mabelle Hedde Van
Arsdel is living in Philadelphia.

Margaret Louise Wood, after having been in DePauw this past sum-
mer, is now in Princeton, N . J., having the experience of being a governess.

Last June Florence and Jessie Jones entered Harvard for summer
work. Later Ruby and Anne Jones took an auto trip through the East,
visiting all points of interest, such as large cities, museums and cemeteries.
They went to Boston and brought the students back in their car, enjoy-
ing the trip by camping at night along the road side. Jessie Jones is now
in the Library School at the University of Illinois. Florence has returned
to her work as a teacher in Indianapolis. Other Theta girls teaching in
the Public Schools of Indianapolis are Florence Foster, Ada Smith and
Lucy Allen. Lucille Lockman teaches Piano in the Metropolitan School of
Music.

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, would have been quite a rendezvous for
Theta girls i f any two of them had met. First Fern Thompson Jordan
was there while M r . Jordan was teaching in the Y. M . Camp. Next Laura
Jaques Leazenby spent two weeks there with her husband and son; then
Florence Hughes was there a short time and lastly Iva Smith O'Hair was
there helping her voice teacher, L. A. Torrens of New York. Iva is plan-
ning to go east soon to give some recitals and continue her study.

Florence Hughes lives in Muncic, Ind., where she does Cost Account-
ing. Her home is proving a most attractive stopping place for Theta
girls. Frances Kelly, Loey Read Puckett and Pauline Place visited her
early in the summer. Later Iva Beeson Gibeault and family f r o m Orlando,
Fla., stopped for a short time. Florence visited in Pennville just before
Pauline Place left for Boston and also saw Mary Wright Hiatt.

Mary Fee Palmer attended the dedication of the Fee Union Memorial
Church in Berea, Ky., Sept. 17th. Mary's grandfather, John Gregg Fee,
was asked by Henry Clay to leave his home in northeast Kentucky, take
a grant of land and start a town and school. The town of Berea was
founded in 1853 and the school was established four years later as an
Undenominational College. On account of M r . Fee's being an Abolition-

02 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

ist, he was mobbed fourteen times before the Civil War. While on this
trip Mary visited Helen Kersey, who is teaching in Berea College.

Elsie Downs has been teaching in Logansport, but last year she was
granted a leave of absence and she is finishing her work in Chicago U n i -
versity.

Agnes Lakin Phillips has been locating Terre Haute Alpha Os since
moving there, but has found only one Theta member, Bessie Levering
Fouts. As Mr. Phillips' mother lives in Greencastle, Agnes hopes to visit
the active chapter often this winter.

Anne White, who is still very busy as a chemist in the Scientific Divi-
sion of Eli Lilly & Co., has proved without doubt that women are just
as proficient in this line of work as men. Anne's descriptions of her
work are most fascinating and inspiring to girls who wish to enter such
a field.

Illness has claimed some of Theta's members lately. Berenice Mitchel
Floyd has been_a semi-invalid for several weeks. Cleo Ferguson Wood
underwent a serious operation early in the summer. She recovered speed-
ily f r o m this, but about a month ago she fell, breaking one of the bones
in her ankle.

Rose Whitaker Kreutzinger is making her home in M t . Vernon, Ind.
During the war she lived in Florence, Alabama, near Muscle Shoals.

day, she specializes in giving her husband just the "proper number of
calories." Apparently Ellen's attendance in the College of Commerce has
been no obstacle in her practice of Home Economics.

Elsey Gayer is teaching math in her home town and says " I t seems
more like going to school than like teaching."

Leola G. Scales sends interesting news from her home in Indianapo-
lis. Her last letter said that her Elizabeth Ann and Jana Wiley Row-
land's James had started to school this fall.

You'd enjoy the whole of Cora Lane Wiedman's letter, but space per-
mits only a summary. Cora Mae is president of the Detroit Alumnae
Chapter and Alumnae Adviser of Omicron Pi Chapter—about whom she
wrote the most and the nicest things!

A most eloquent bit of mail came f r o m Inez Sampson Ranney—namely,
a photograph of her baby at eight months. Daphne must have given the
photographer her sweetest smile, and in so doing, revealed two new teeth!

Martha H . Foote's last letter might be entitled "Bobby," and we all
believe that Bobby is a wonderful baby. No doubt, he has inherited much
of Martha's own sweetness.

Eliza Garman Schoening visited her parents in September and invited
the local alumnae to a get-to-gether in honor of Dorothy Iwig, whom she
was expecting to stop off on her way to Peoria. But Dorothy changed
her plans and wired Eliza to that effect—so the girls spent the evening
just visiting.

Among the alumnae who visited Iota during rushing season are:
Annetta Wood, Mildred Holmes, Minnie Phillips, Maurine Lantz, Minnie
Frances Harris, Ellen K . Grover, Atha W. Fowler, Hester Srout, Hazel
S. Bodenschatz, Lucie Burwash, Joe Phillips Leach, Gretchen Hulsebus.

We're thinking that Maurine Mavity Vinecore will surely make that
long promised visit this year; for her cousin, Dorothy Dickinson, is among
Iota's pledges. Yes, the same little Dorothy, whose bright sayings and
cunning pranks, Maurine was always narrating to us. And now, '"fess
up," don't you who remember those days, feel ancient along with me?

Mabel Frances Henry had planned to keep the local alumnae company
this year, but an attractive offer from the school board at Bridgeport,
Illinois, lured her away.

96 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Annetta Wood '22 much to the chapter's and her own delight, suc-
ceeded in making a visit at the house before leaving f o r Boston where
she is continuing her Dramatics.

Ethel Brooks is back at Oblong, Illinois, after her delightful summer
in the west. She enjoyed "running across" Velda Bamesberger and
mother, and spending some time at the same hotel on one of her sight-
seeing stops.

Our sympathy goes out to Mabel Jackson whose sister Ruby died on
September 27th at the family home in Danville. Mabel is still at the
same address, 5653 Virginia Ave., Los Angeles.

Mary Caldwell is expected to stop over a few days in Champaign,
enroute f r o m Great Falls, Montana, to her father's ranch in the South.

Continued f r o m the last issue: Elaine Buhrman had a fine trip west,
and is teaching in Toppenish, Washington—109 S. Date Street. "Bee"
Levy has come home and taken a position in the Clinton schools—just
thirty miles from Champaign. She is using her week-ends f o r reunions
with the nearby alumnae, and has visited Mid Holmes at Decatur, and
Shirley Mann Kimmclshue who "has a lovely home and a fine husband."
"Bee" is coming for Homecoming.

Nettie Stephens Shute has been at the home of her parents while
Jack recuperated sufficiently to travel on to their new home in West
Virginia. The little fellow had a most serious accident at their cottage
this summer, when he happened to walk into the ashes left by a beach fire
of the previous evening. Janet started in the Champaign schools, but
Jack is able to walk again, so they'll soon join M r . Shute.

Joe Phillips Leach will go to Evanston as soon as the apartment
building is completed.

Florence Moss is teaching at Charles City, Iowa. A recent letter
explained that a series of physical disabilities had prevented her writing
for such a long, long time. Florence wrote of the preparations for a
"Moss reunion" in September when Arnold was expected home from
Annapolis, and Sedgwick and Abbie Lee from their southern home.

The Champaign and Urbana alumnae gave a colonial tea for the
active chapter and rushees, on the opening Sunday. Early in the after-
noon, we took possession of the kitchen, pantry, and dining room, and
in the midst of all our "busyness," Minnie Phillips walked in. A f t e r
recovering from our surprise, and still asking many questions—Minnie
Pido is going back to Rush Medical—we again set our wheels of industry
in motion. Gladys and Marion prepared sandwiches—Atha directed the
making of a delectable salad (you should all get her recipe!)—Lucille
and Lucie molded cheese carrots that were very true to nature's own—
Mate placed a tiny yellow candle on each orange-frosted tea cake, while
the rest of us grated sweet chocolate. Did we serve chocolate instead
of tea? Oh, no, Aunt Bettie and Mrs. Hobler (the new chaperon) poured
tea at two small tables. And the chocolate—well, we had transplanted
vari-colored garden flowers into little earthen, ice-cream filled, flower
pots, and just a sprinkling of the chocolate transformed the cold, pseudo-
soil. So, we achieved a realistic effect, and won the approval of the
nodding flowerets themselves. 'Twould never do to stop here, without
a word about the rest of the party. The living and chapter rooms seemed
aglow with masses of yellow flowers from Anna's garden, and the light
from many tall candles. The favors were small corsages in lace paper
frills. Our next party will be in honor of the ten pledges.

Your alumnae assistant has tried sundry means of increasing the
number of our subscribers, and now has a suggestion for you Iota
subscribers. Rather frequently, some of you write her how much you
enjoy To Dragma. Now, each of us naturally corresponds with a chosen
few of the alumnae—and among these, there are sure to be non-

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 97

subscribers. So, when next you write, tell your "old" room-mate as
you've told the assistant—"I love To Dragma" or " I always read the
alumnae notes first of all," or " I couldn't get along without To Dragma,
etc. A casual word, or a startling bit of news quoted, will make her
feel the need of the magazine. To be sure, the assistant has never
studied the art of advertising and she may be wrong in her present
views. Nevertheless, she has hopes that this manner of boosting f o r To
Dragma—if each of you will be faithful to her plan—will reach many-
more effectively than all her mimeographed letters ever could. Shall
we try it?
