New York Alumna Endorse Informal Parties
By HARRIETT DUNHAM, Acting Editor
On March 25 the New York City Alumna; chapter elected the following new officers: Harriett Dunham, presi- dent; Frances Brewer, vice president; Marion Vinehurg, secretary; Maxine Cook, treasurer; and Eloise Tessicr, his- torian and editor to To DRACMA. These officers were installed on April 1 with a very impressive formal ceremony. There were thirteen present. We congrat- ulate our new officers and wish them
a very successful year.
this will be a gala event of the year. Rosemary Holahan Vioni chairman of the supper and bridge to be given at the Foodcraft Shoppe on the evening of May 5, reported that she expected to
have at least eighty people attend this function.
There have been several informal meet- ings of our alumna: at the homes of our members. Winifred Catersen and Ynlanda Jackovics entertained many of us at a bridge given at the chapter house in January. Elizabeth Riley and Helena Krause invited many of their friends to a buffet bridge in February. Rosemary Vioni, Harriett Dunham entertained a

San Francisco Alumna Entertain for Sigma Seniors
By CATHARINE MERRIAM
The high light of events since our last letter was the bridge tea given at the home of Rose Bell on March 24. The idea originated with Sally Hack- ley. Rose Marx, Frances Howard, Elaine Massie, Sally Hackley, Dorothy Mills, and Catharine Merriam were the host- esses and made all the arrangements. Rose Bell very generously opened her charming and spacious home for the oc- casion. There were nine tables in play during the afternoon, and over a dozen girls dropped in for tea at four o'clock. We all saw girls we had not seen in years, and everyone pronounced the af- fair a great success. We hope it is just the beginning of many such gatherings.
As this letter goes into the mail plans are under way for the annual spring party for Sigma seniors. This year it is to be a bridge tea rather than a lunch- eon as has always been the custom. It is to be given in the home of Dorothy Mills, alumna? president, and the alum- na? officers are to be hostesses. Sigma chapter has eight seniors this year. At the beginning of the afternoon these girls will stand in line and be introduced to the alumna? by Rosalinda Riccomi. Be- tween forty and fifty alumna? from both sides of the Bay are expected to attend.

Merle Mosier Potter (E '14), entertained the chapter in December with six mem- bers present. We were happy to have Grace Lawton Hubbard (B Ex. '05), with us. Grace lives in New Haven, Connecticut, and has been spending the winter with her parents in Providence. At this meeting we voted to send $10 as our Christmas gift to the Children's Ward in the Homeopathic Hospital. An interesting letter from Martha Sargent Sheals (X '15), who recently moved to Washington, D.C., from Providence, was read.
In January Muriel Colbath Wyman (T '16), was our hostess. Five members were present at this meeting.

Ethel Remele Wills (A '08), was our hostess in March. Five of us, with four of our children, enjoyed her hospitality. This meeting was made extremely inter- esting by the accounts of various ad- ventures, amusing and otherwise, of Helen Rose and Jane Perry Prescott (B '05) while traveling in France and Germany at various times.
Boston Alanine? Attend PanheUenic Bridge
By HELEN ACKERMANN
The last winter has brought two great losses to Tufts men and women—the death of both Professor Fay and Dr. Lambert. To the families of these be- loved men we extend our sincerest sym- pathy. Both of Professor Fay's daugh- ters, Margaret Fay and Mrs. Thomas Robinson are Delta AOII's, and M rs. Lambert is a Delta woman COO).
The activities of our chapter on "the hill" have been of interest to us all, and worthy of it. We congratulate them whole heartedly on the nine splendid ini- tiates. We who had the privilege of at- tending the initiation and the formal banquet which followed at the Comman- der, in Cambridge, were more than re- paid. It will be to your advantage, now, to plan to be present at the next ini- tiation. Have you by chance forgotten what it can do to you? Then, too,spring formal is coming soon, and that means more pleasant contacts with actives. Some of us are planning a reunion. Come and join us!

The March meeting of our group was omitted so that our support might be given to the PanheUenic bridge, which was held Saturday afternoon, March 28, at the Boston Conservatory of Music. The proceeds went for the benefit of Tufts Alumna? Hall. Our delegation was as large as the rest, I hope. We had a pleasant afternoon as well as helping along a cause that is of interest to all of us.
The officers for 1931-'32 are: presi- dent, Esther Fowler Schmalz ('23); vice president, Mildred Ward Eldridge ('25), corresponding secretary, Genevieve Fos- dick Sanbom ('10); treasurer, Edna Woodbury Webb ('12); editor to To DRAGMA, Helen Ackermann ('30); his- torian, Charlotte Lowell ('03); recording secretary.

Our February meeting was held at the chapter house, on February II, when sixteen alumna; had luncheon with the active girls. Most of the meeting was a discussion of ways and means for con- vention, for we realize that it isn't a small undertaking to be hostesses for a convention in another state, especially out here in the middle west where dis- tances are so great.
On March 11, we met at Helen Hoppe's home, with Helen Miller, Mabel Bcachlcy, W inifred Steele, and Arlene Noble as assisting hostesses. We hat! a delightful "chatty" evening, for these monthly meetings are the only times when some of us sec one another. It was decided that we start a milk fund as a part of our philanthropic work. At pres- ent, we are supplying milk to one needy family each day, and we hope that we can extend the scope of the work as time goes on.

Ninety active and alumna- Zeta mem- bers met at the chapter house for lunch- eon Saturday, April 11, when Mrs. Wal- ter D. Hacrtel of Minneapolis, Mid-Wes- tern District Superintendent, and the Omaha Alumna- chapter were the guests of the Lincoln group. Following the luncheon, which was served at several
tables made attractive with centerpieces of spring flowers, a general meeting was held. Margaret Moore Gorton, general chairman of the Convention at Trout- dalc-in-thc-Pincs, presented the Conven- tion program for the approval of the groups. We all realize the hours that Margaret has been spending this winter working out the details of a program which will help to make this year's con- vention a perfect one. Elsie Ford Piper, chairman of the national fellowship com- mittee discussed this year's Fellowship
and the plan of awarding it. Mrs. Hacrtel gave a very interesting talk concerning convention and the chapters in her dis- trict. Out-of-town alumna- present were: Frances Bollard Dykes, Isabel Tyson Slattery. Jessie Mosher Wigton, Lucille Weldow. Margaret Carnaby Hayess, Ma- bel Shuman.

An Alumna- Book of Information was discussed. This book is to include snap- shots, talents, and interesting informa- tion about each girl. Don't be backward or shy about telling all about yourself, because someone will find out about you sooner or later anyway.
ing the luncheon, the Stanford girls sang a song dedicated to Mrs. Curtiss who had planned the menu for the day. Af- ter everyone had gorged herself, each table sang a song typical of the season it represented.
The business meeting was called to or- der by Lucile English who had another surprise in store for us. She had pre- vailed upon Audrey Buratti and Bijou Brinkop to present a little original skit, and the chapter was completely carried away with interest over the fate of the "fair maiden." the deeds of the "cava- lier," and the deep-dyed plots of the
tcr during the holidays. Two families
from the Ritler School were made happy

The activities of February were ushered in by a bridge given by the Mothers' Club for their scholarship fund. It was held at the home of Mrs. Kellogg Van Winkle.
At the January meeting, there was a suggestion made that an extra lunch- eon or supper be held for those members who could not come to the Saturday meetings. Lucile English, Alice Patton, and Helene Collin were the first host- esses of this special party. It was held at the home of Lucile English, and from what T hear, everyone had a wonderful time. Bridge, conversation, and soft music provided the amusement for the afternoon. The honored guest was the very young daughter of Corinne Pelle-
tier Meeks.
The regular meeting of the Los Ange- les Alumna; chapter was held on Febru- ary 28 at the chapter house, with Muriel McKinney. Erna Taylor. Bertha George, Mae Goodan. Lucile Saunders, and Alice Hopkins acting as hostesses. The chapter was treated to a surprise when luncheon was announced because some clever per- sons had thought up a perfectly delight-
ful idea. There were four tables de- picting the four seasons of the year, and the guests were to sit at the tables ac- cording to the season in which they were born. Imagine eating a most enticing lunch with gay bathing beauties playing in real sand under waving palm trees before your eyes; or with snow piled deep and sleighs and reindeers cavorting through it. Gorgeous spring flowers made
The business of the day opened with the sad news of Margaret Ritter's resig- nation. We are all very sorry to lose her services because w e enjoyed reading your letters, and may we say "thank you" in this letter to show you how much we did appreciate you. Cornelia Christmas (KG '20), was elected by the Executive Committee to take Margaret Ritter's place. Helen Knips was made the chair- man of the hostess committee. The nominating committee was appointed with Helen Haller as the chairman. Audrey Buratti and Carrie Kistler are to assist her.
After the business of the day had been completed, Evelyn Cornish displayed a collection of watch keys. Imagine having to stop and wind your watch with a key in these days of hurry and bustle, but if you could have seen those lovely old keys, some of which are over one hun- dred years old, I am sure that the prac- tice would not be so tiresome.
Oh, I nearly forgot the mysterious happenings that were being carried out during the day. First one girl and then another would disappear. When at last T was summoned, I feared for the worst, but was relieved to find out that Helen Haller and Helen Knips were only tak- ing the snap shots that are to constitute our Alumntr Information Book.

At Founders' Day banquet a fund was collected for Christmas work, contribu- tions amounted to $36, and this enabled the chapter to supply baskets and money to five needy families. A Christmas gift was also sent to Grace Schiller, our protegee in the Spaulding School for Crippled Children.
On February 14 the North Shore group, together with Rho Chapter Cor- poration, gave a card party in the Pan- hellenic room of the new 2AE Memorial Bunding in Evanston. The party, which included bridge, refreshments, and a style show, was a social and financial success. The proceeds from this party enabled the North Shore group to turn in S98 to-

New Orleans Alumncc Plan Party for Seniors
By MARIAN MOISE
During the Christmas holidays a so- cial meeting was held at the Renshaw home, and several out-of-town members found it possible to be present. We met the following month at the home of Louise Church, and discussed ways and means of earning more money. Several of the girls have been doing volunteer work in the Child W elfare Clinics in or- der to keep in touch with our phil- anthropic work. The three welfare clin- ics which we maintain are among the best equipped in the city, and we take pride in keeping them so.
The plan of having our monthly after- noon bridge club has been very success- ful, and we have had at least three tables every time. The officers for the
ensuing year were elected at the last meeting, held at Rosamond Hill Sch- neidau's. They are as follows: president, Rosamond Hill Schneidau; vice presi- dent, Mrs. W. H. Scales; secretary, Louise Church; treasurer, Margaret L y - on Pedrick; historian, Helen Bovard Franklin; editor to To DRAGMA, Marian Moise. Plans for our party to the sen- iors of Pi chapter were discussed. We decided to hold another rummage sale in the near future, too.

Minneapolis Alumncc to Raffle Hope Chest
By ELIZABETH BOND
Our usual monthly dinner meetings have continued with success throughout the winter. Recent gatherings, all well- attended, have been at Betty Hostetter's Dorothy Hill Martin's, and the chap- ter house. We are increasingly proud of our new house, by the way. Several of the alumna; are living there, so we al- ways see some of the old, familiar faces about.
Our president, Doris Lohff Schlampp, has been in California for the winter months, basking in sunshine (so have we, too, in Minnesota, this winter), and her place was ably taken by the vice president, Zora Robinson Delaney.
Alva Prouty Sutherland is in charge of our big money-making scheme of the year, the hope chest. It is to be raffled off at a party in June. Everybody is busy making lovely things and selling tickets for it. We hope it will be a fi- nancial success, and we know that some lucky person will become the owner of a very beautiful chest.
On the day that this letter is mailed, the active and alumna; chapters are en- tertainins at a tea for Edith Hunting- ton Anderson, our Grand Secretary. I t surely seems good to have Edith with us again if only for such a short time.

order when thirteen members of the Philadelphia Alumna; met at the home of Margaret M. Headley on the first Saturday afternoon in 1931, with "Pud" and Katherine Stewart as our hostesses. Avis Rumpp announced that the sale of Christmas cards was very successful this year. Over $700 worth of Christmas cards were sold by the girls, yielding a profit of $300. Gertrude Payton reported that she was progressing with the Alumna; chapter history. Louise Kapella Riegel, our president, was very anxious to get suggestions how to encourage interest and attendance at the Alumna; meetings. It was decided to hold the next few meetings at the members' homes. And, then, plans for our annual card party were discussed. The meeting
was adjourned, and refreshments were served.
Our next get-together was at the an- nual card party, held this year at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, on January 26, with Marie Campbell as our competent guide.
On St. Valentine's Day, the Philadel- phia Alumna chapter was entertained by the Board of Directors of the Psi House Corporation, at the home of Evelyn Webster. At this time, Marie Campbell reported $39.21, the total profits from our card party. Louise Riegel read the Grand Council letter, and the election of a national officer was discussed. Then, .Marian Willis, treasurer of the Psi House Corporation gave a financial re- port of that organization. The question arose—Why could not these two organi- zations, whose interests were similar and whose memberships were likewise almost
identical, unite? A resolution to that effect was drawn up and sent to every paid-up member to be voted upon at the March meeting. The meeting then
On a snowy afternoon, March 7, the AOITs were warmly welcomed by our two hostesses, Avis Rumpp and Iiieanor Spencer, who had a delicious luncheon awaiting us. After this, there was lots of business to hear. First of all came the discussion of the Resolution. Details were explained to the satisfaction of everyone present. When the votes were counted, the tellers reported the Resolu- tion had been carried by a large ma- jority, so that now, the Psi House Cor- poration is considered as one of the standing committees of the Philadelphia Alumna chapter. By raising the annual membership dues one dollar per year
(the amount of dues of the Corpora- tion) the members of the Philadelphia Alumna; chapter, automatically, become members of the Psi House Corporation. However, the two organizations still have their treasuries separate.
Election of officers came next, and we are happy to announce as our leaders for the coming year: president, Helen Horner; vice president, Marian Culin; corresponding secretary, Cornelia G. Patterson; recording secretary, Eleanor D. Culin; treasurer, Margaret R. Krae- mer; editor to To DRAGMA, Margaret A. Lynn; and historian, Elizabeth Herbst.
Then came the sad announcement of Dr. Miriam Iszard Guest's tragic death in an automobile accident in the west. A motion was passed to send a resolution expressing our sympathy to Miriam's mother and husband. A memorial serv- ice was held at the house on March 9 by the combined active and alumna; chapters.
The ever-present question of new ways for raising money was next considered. Eleanor Spencer had ordered large boxes of Easter eggs to sell. Everyone eagerly
we can scarcely realize we will soon be planning summer vacations, and a few lucky ones will be leaving for Troutdale- in-the-Pines. Margaret Bentley will represent us there.

Have Reunion at Ann Arbor
JENNETIE McCOLL
Four whole months have elapsed since the official recording of Detroit Alumna? chapter affairs. Much of interest has also been accomplished. For instance, at the January meeting, held at the home of Irene Lutz Dunham ('24), it was dis- covered that we had profited to the ex- tent of $100 on the bridge tea given before Christmas.
Helen Maynard ('30), was hostess to the chapter for the February meeting. In a spirit of sisterly generosity, we voted to send the Ann Arbor active chapter $50 immediately, with a possi- bility of more in the future if it were available.
Detroit PanheUenic entertained at a bridge breakfast, on February 14, which was attended by a goodly number of Alpha O's.
Monday, March 2, was the date of the next monthly meeting, which took place at the home of Mary Roach ('30). As the following week-end marked the innovation of the Omicron Pi reunion in Ann Arbor, when old acquaintance were renewed, and reminiscences were quite in order, the conversation turned mainly to the near future—a future which bore out every promise, for we were royally
entertained by Omicron Pi chapter and came away feeling that life was good, and Alpha O's were "gooder."
A mixed keno party, which was a social if not a financial success, occurred on March 21, completing the program for March. Our April meeting, which happened on April 6, was presided over by the newly elected president, Frances Barrett ('26). Other officers chosen in- clude: vice president, Marjorie Kerr Lanning ('24); secretary, Helen May- nard ('30); treasurer, Ruth Kimberly; editor to T o DRAGMA, Frances Sackett
('30); PanheUenic delegate, Doris Kuhn ('30); and PanheUenic alternate, Helen Boughey Nolan ('29).
A special treat was the visit of our Grand Secretary, Edith Huntington Anderson, who came into town un- expectedly on April 4. A dinner at the Women's City Club, followed by a lengthy heart-to-heart talk on sorority matters left us inspired and refreshed in spirit.
The immediate future holds plans for a Mothers' tea on April 25 and a party for the seniors of Omicron Pi on May 23.
By N A N C I E Every meeting since the beginning of
the year seems to have held something of importance by which to remember it. January found us at the home of Flor- ence Hayes enjoying luncheon served by Margaret Rawls, Mary Rutledge, Vir- ginia Goddard, Kathleen Magruder, and Florence. During the meeting the treas-

In February we did not meet at one o'clock as usual, but had our business meeting the forty-five minutes just pre- ceding the freshman party. The treas- urer's report and an announcement about the library were made. We discussed the benefit bridge party to be given on March 21. A letter from M rs. Baskervill was read, and nominations for Grand Officers were sent in. Then the freshmen arrived, and we all enjoyed bridge for the next hour. The following freshmen
were able to come: Louise Cecil, Dor- othy Willett, Elizabeth Hill, Martha Farnsworth, Mary Eleanor Rodenhauser, and Virginia Lewis. The party was given at the home of Frances Hudson assisted by Ruth Thomas, Josephine Hawkins, Bessie White, and Jane Beasley.
The March meeting was important be- cause it included election of officers. We
be headed by Robbie Allison as presi- dent, Florence Hayes and Jane Beasley as vice presidents, Mary Rutledge as secretary, Mary Lou Faulkner as treas- urer (her second term), Margaret Rawls as editor to To DRAGMA, and Sarah Thompson to take charge of the Mem- ory Book and get it ready for con- vention.

This party was held on the following Saturday at Memorial Hall on the cam- pus. It was a most enjoyable affair and turned out to be a great financial suc- cess, clearing about $50.

Memphis AIitnnice Celeb ate Holidays at Hospital By DOROTI • M . NOLAN
With the Memphis Alumna; chapter, tied in a pretty Christmas package,
a great deal always happens between our January and March letters. Our an- nual Founders' Day ''get-together" was held at the Southwestern Lodge, the gathering being in the nature of an in- formal buffet supper. Needless to say, we enjoyed it tremendously, especially
the first-hand stories of the founding of about seven chapters. So inspired were we that we longed for new colleges to colonize.
Since Pauline Barton, who was to have been joint hostess with Eleanor Cameron for the January meeting, for- sook our ranks and married just after Christmas, going to New York to live, Linda T erry came to the rescue, and on the very coldest night of the winter, we enjoyed the warmth of her fire and hos- pitality. Echoes of our Christmas party
either a pair of socks, or a pair of stock- ings. The active chapter did noble serv- ice in assisting us to decorate trees, tie packages, of which there were 250 in all, and play Santa Claus to the children; of course, we worked hard, but the workers felt fully repaid in watching the
joy and gladness glowing in the faces of the recipients.
At the February meeting, held at the home of Dorothy Vandcn with Minnie Lundy as co-hostess, we elected—or ap- pointed—our general chairman for the easter egg hunt—Eleanor Cameron.
And at Lila Witsell's we had election of officers. W e are delighted that Cather- ine Underwood was re-elected, and, assis- ted by Elsie Keebler, Rebecca Osborne, Margaret Green, Lila Witsell, and Min- nie Lundy, we can't fail to have a full

cold, drab day, was a pronounced suc- cess. After the hunt, games were played, and prizes awarded. On Easter Sunday, since we feel that the hospital is our special hobby, we fixed sixty baskets with colored eggs, and candy ones, too, for all
the children, and when we saw the pleasure and the happiness of the chil- dren, we felt that it was all worth while. In fact, we really believe that there are a Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny Rabbit.

We were delighted to hear that the Pan- hellenic card party given in December for a scholarship fund for high school girls had proved very successful. It was given on two successive days at the College Club, each sorority selling as many tables as possible. Over $300 were made. April 15 Panhellenic is having an evening card party at the City Club to raise money for the same fund. Our
chapter is planning to take three or four tables.
We assisted with the sale of Anti- tuberculosis Stamps just before Christ- mas as we have each year. For ourselves we have not been quite as active as usual. Our president, Margaret Leypoldt, made tiny aprons with a plea to fill the pocket with pennies to the extent of our waist measures. Each of us were to make similar aprons to pass on to our friends.
we hemmed towels for the use of the physicians at the Maternity Hospital. Frieda Dorner who is on the board at the Hospital arranged for our purchase of the material, and Marian who is a teacher of Domestic Art, provided us with thimbles and other necessities.
In March we met at the home of Helen Boyce. After discussing the routine business we had election of officers. We were all happy when Dorothy Marsh
(II), was chosen president. Mary Stare (H), is vice president; Jane Zimmerman (4>), secretary; Helen Boyce (P), treas- urer; Lenora Braun (P), historian.
At our April meeting, at the home of Lenice Hoffmann, we had installation of officers. Margaret also told each officer her duties and urged the outgoing officers to assist the new ones. We appreciate all she has done for us.

Cincinnati Alumna Furnish Milk to Needy Family By VIRGINIA BRUCE CALDWELL
At our January meeting we were for- tunate enough to have our Ohio Valley District Superintendent, Mary Gertrude Manley, as guest of honor. Ermina Smith Price ( I '19), Bernadette WTinter Murphy (fi '27), Helen Wolfe (OH '20), and Frances Ivins Rich (£2 '25), were the hostesses for this meeting at the Maketewah Country Club. The actives and pledges of Theta Eta were asked to join us after our business meeting with the result that there were about sixty Alpha O's present. It was the first op- portunity some of the pledges and alumna; had had to meet, and everyone spent a most pleasant evening. We had flashlight pictures taken, played bridge, and later Mrs. Irene Ganzel, one of the active chapter patronesses, played several piano selections for us.
Our other meetings have been held at the homes of various members. In March we met with Phyllis W alker (T '28), and installed the following officers for the new year: Lucille Newton (Gil Ex. '25), president; Elizabeth Sears Boulden (II '25), vice president; Lillian Hempel Moore (il Ex. '24), secretary; Ruth Har- gitt (©II '30), treasurer; Marjorie Hol- lenberg (©II Ex.

Alumna; sup- port did not stop there, however, for the following members attended the ban- quet: Helen Wolfe, Lucille Newton, Frances Ivins Rich, Ermina Price, Betty Boulden, Ruth Hargitt, Mariemae For- bus (©II '30), Hope Johnson Tiemeyer (OH '30), Virginia Bruce Caldwell, and Amelia Kauffmann (fi Ex. '29).
The local Mothers' Club recently gave a bridge at the home of Ruby Doench for the benefit of the active chapter. The alumna; turned out in large numbers and actively supported them. Some of them also served on committees for this affair.
Busy as we have been with other things, we have not neglected our philan- thropic work. All winter we have been furnishing a needy family with milk each day. The money for this has come out of the alumna; treasury.
I have just heard that Frances Yost O'Reilly (©H '30), is living in Cincinnati with her husband and young daughter, Patricia. Her address is 227 Albion Place. Betty Boulden (Mrs. John), is leaving Cincinnati for Baltimore, Maryland, early in May. We will be most sorry to lose her, for she has been a valuable member of our chapter.

Since the Tulsa Alumna; chapter has been composed of a small group, averag- ing nine in number, and has raised a fund of $750 for the benefit of its nearest active chapter, X i , we have been
' asked to give a resume of the various activities engaged in to raise funds.
Our most profitable and interesting venture was the sponsoring of a class in contract bridge. This was a popular class which sold itself, as we took ad- vantage of the interest in contract while it was at its height.
At different times chances were sold on a lovely hooked rug and a needlepoint footstool made by energetic members of the group. Profits from these amounted to about $75.
We have sold on commission, Christ- mas cards (with good profits), printed stationery put out by the National Sta- tionery Company of Batavia, Illinois, Ready-Jell from the company at Troy, New York, and card tables. Allof these provide material for good salesmanship and would be splendid for a large group.

(A<I> '27), the vice president officiating. Reports showed the treasury to be in a "happy" state, and with this encour- agement in mind, plans were made to add to it further. Some one member, it was decided, should be asked each month to give some form of entertainment, the derived benefit of which should be turned over to the treasury. Alta Atkinson, Margaret Hanselman Underwood (on '24), and Charlotta Ewing Wagner (On '24), were appointed to take charge of the Senior Breakfast, which it was ar-

At the business meeting the furtherance of some type of philanthropic work was discussed, and the donating of garments for the babies of unmarried mothers at the State Hospital was considered a wor- thy project. Each member was asked to bring some one article to the next meeting for this purpose, and Charlotta Ewing Wagner was asked to take charge.

Rochester Alumna: Celebrate First Birthday
By HELEN HOWALT LOWE
Our January meeting was held at the home of Edwina Grunow. W e discussed plans for the chapter for the new year, and elected Joanna Huntington chair- man of the program committee. This committee is to plan the meetings ahead, that they may have variation, and there- fore an extra interest, and also an im- portance and dignity which the thought and work of the committee bestows up- on them.
Here we must announce with regret that Joanna Huntington has left us, and moved to Schenectady. W c arc extremely sorry to lose her, as you may imagine, but hope she is liking Schenectady. She planned our February party for us, but was unable to be there due to the death of her father. Gallant Joanna, to work for Alpha 0, amidst so much trouble and sorrow of her own.
Abigail Van Wagencn, our capable president, had the February meeting, which was really our first birthday party. We had a delicious and informal dinner, followed by ritual, and a minia- ture of the Candle Service of Convention, in charge of Nell Fain I^awrence, after that, games, and little prizes, and much conversation.
Election of officers was the main busi- ness of the March meeting, which was held at the home of Martha Jane Hit- chener. Abigail Van Wagenen was re- elected president; vice president, Edwina Grunow; secretary, Helen Lowe; treas- urer, Jessie Rice; editor to To DKACMA, Helen Cleaves; and historian, Charlotte Dickason. Formal installation will be held at our April meeting, on the twen- tieth.

St. Louis Alumna' Invite Newcomers to Join
By ELLEN K. GROVER
We of the St. Louis Alumna: chapter have been enjoying the winter by meet- ing with our members at their homes for luncheon and business meetings. I n this way we become better acquainted with the families of the AOH's.
We met with Evelyn Gauger in Janu- ary and decided to help a worthy cause by buying a quilt, which we would raf- fle off among ourselves, the money from the raffle being sent to the AOn National Work Fund.
In March Eleanore Rench entertained
the St. Louis Panhellenic with a tea at her home at which there were thirty members present.
Sickness has kept some of us home this winter. At our last meeting we learned that Alice West was ill with scarlet fever. Alice has been one of our most faithful members, and we missed her very much.
St. Louis chapter hopes that any new AOn's in St. Louis will get in touch with us.
Esther McClellan Lundquist was asked to continue in her capacity as treasurer for as long as she would remain in Ann
