'Beauty

By G . H . M . , Psi

Beauty is the perception of harmonious life—
When the soul vibrates before its grace
And is flooded in radiance, lo—
Beauty of soul is greatness personified.

Intangible will-o'-the-wisp

Oft' to be soon lost or broken

Tones vitalized by a line, a word, an instrument

That brighten shadows crossing the path.

Tenacious of life, the grasp is supernatural,

A Deity at whose feet sit thy handmaidens, Genius, Love and Work.

Venus enshrined, even though the knell of twilight

Steals to brush and finally singe the wings of progress.

Tones that rise when a body is bound,
A head thrown forward and eyes closed,
A knee bent as if in supplication

While above the cross with outstretched arms ready to enfold.

The "Bells

{The stanza Poe forgot)
By M A D E L I N E HANNON, Kappa Theta

Hear the joyous Christmas bells retellsl
Silver bells!

What a time of happiness their gladsome peal
In the frosty air of night
How they tinkle their delight!

While the people sing His praise
They ring out this glorious phrase:

"Peace on earth, good will to men."
How they thrill!
How they fill

Us with delight! How they tell bells!
Of the joys of Christmas night!
Oh, the bells, bells, bells, bells,

Bells, bells, bells— _
Hear the singing and the ringing of the

By HANNAH BLAIR N E A L , Beta Phi

To me the loveliest thoughts are those of life,
And life does only seem a little thing
Just given the first thought, but then the strife
And all the troubles next our mind will bring.
At first as happy lads at school we're seen
And then into the worldly world are driv'n,
To make the best we can and earn 1 ween
Our bread; and some to Him, too, must be given.
And then with greatest joy to live and give
This strife does not seem now so very wide,
If we only look, and work and love and live
And always look upon the brightest side.
Then thoughts of life to us will be a joy
And not a trifling plaything or a toy.

^Mrs. Needier Wins $100 Cfirst Prize

MR S . G E O R G E B E E C H E R (Grace Hubbard, T ) of Marshalltown is the winner
of the first prize of $100 in The Sunday Register's Matched the T w i n game.
Mrs. Beechefs solution was judged the first prize winner by The Sunday
Register's judges after the solutions of 28,672 persons had been considered. I t was
the epitome of accuracy and simple neatness.

Mrs. Paul Kossack of McGregor is second prize winner. Her prize is $50. Mrs.
M . R . Toohey, Fort Dodge, wins the third prize of $25.

There are forty-five other prize winners, making a total of forty-eight prizes
comprising a sum of $1000 in prizes.

The Match the Twin game was the most successful contest ever conducted by
The Sunday Register. Over a period of eight weeks there were published in the
rotogravure section of The Sunday Register the pictures of 32 sets of twins.

The game was to match accurately the pictures into sets.
I n order to judge the mammoth numbers of entries, services of 15 persons were
required. Post-marks on the packets showed that entries were mailed from more
than 1300 postoffices in the state.
Mrs. Beecher, the first prize winner, is a housewife and the mother of a five-
year old boy. In matching the pictures, she considered the likeness in eyebrows, ear
lobes and the location of the pupils in the eyes.
She also measured facial proportions and used a magnifying glass to compare
skin textures.—Des Moines Register

Sleanor Cjfurst Ways in "Jfoliday"

H P H E Stanford Dramatic Council sponsored a brilliant performance of Philip
-i- Barry's comedy, "Holiday," in Assembly Hall on the campus Friday night.
Frederick Stover's settings were rewarded with applause, and Harold Helvenston's
direction gave elegance and tone to the story of New York society and the rebels
against its conventions.

Stanford's young actors gave a very good account of the comedy in performance.
Marian Jones' Linda was a particularly fine impersonation, lacking just an under-
tone of the girl's own personal misery, and indication of her love for Johnny and the
effort to cover her agony of spirit, to be a first class characterization. James Benet,
H i , as Johnny Case, was likeable, but just a bit stodgy. Johnny is an irresponsible
chap, and Benet hardly suggested this.

Joseph Wolf's Seton, Sr. was admirably played, and John Peckham made the
bibulous Ned a lovable youth. Robert Churchill as the carefree Nick Potter and
Elizabeth Chapin as his wife were delightful. They grasped the genuineness of this
pair fully and projected it with much skill.

Mary Anita Loos, pretty and attractive, made a good deal of the time-serving
Julia, and Carter Meyer and Eleanor Furst ( A ) , were excellent as the disagreeable
Crams. Will Williams, Balcolm Moore and Eleanor Harris did the serving people
very well.-—The San Francisco Chronicle

J^ambda Qirl 1{eads "Of Thee 3 £inf

" E L I Z A B E T H W I L B U R (A '27), the charming young actress, who has so many
JLy friends and admirers in Santa Clara county, is coming up from Hollywood to
read the hilarious comedy "Of Thee I Sing" at the Mountain View high school on
Thursday evening, December 1. She will be assisted by Lois Stilson Miller, the
diseuse, who will sing songs from the play. Many well-known people will act as
patrons and patronesses of the reading.

"Of Thee I Sing" is the Pulitzer prize play of the year, and its clever authors
have let themselves go in their satire on a presidential campaign. The comedy is
"one long laugh," as one critic put it, and Miss Wilbur's fine sense of dramatic humor
is given full play in it.

Miss Wilbur has been on the stage ever since her graduation from Stanford, and
has appeared with such noted stars as Jane Cowl, Marjorie Rambeau, Edward
Everett Horton and many others. Her last appearance in San Francisco was with
Jane Cowl in "Camille," and in which she played the part of Olympe. While at
Stanford Miss Wilbur starred in many campus productions, and as the queen in
"The Queen's Husband" her work still stands as the finest piece of comedy inter-
pretation ever seen on the Stanford stage.

Owing to the large seating capacity of the high school popular prices will pre-
vail. Tickets will be on sale within a few days.—San Jose Mercury Herald

"Beta Kappa ^Members ^Attend "Qo-ed Tarty"

O T H E R colorful event took place in the gym Thursday night when more than
two hundred co-eds turned out in fancy dress to, figuratively speaking, "strut
their stuff." Gypsies and pirates danced with old ladies and babies; Indians and
Chinese dunked their sandwiches side by side. Wim and Wigour pervaded the atmos-
phere, to say nothing of the over-abundant Witality evidenced in maidenly and un-
maidenly antics performed all regardless of customary co-ed dignity ( ? ) .
The prize-winning skit, by the Aggies, more finished than the others, consisted
of a clever verse dialogue between the traditional cardboard cow, an over-sized
chicken, horse, cauliflower, and greenhouse, with Helen Farley as the Aggie student.
A "Shakespearean hash" by the Senior class, contained lines and characters from
all the noted plays. Betty Creighton's feline actions as Cleopatra brought applause.
The Nursing class performed "An Operation by Mechanical Dolls." The dolls
persisted in running down at the most critical moments, and had to be rewound
while the patient lay peacefully dying.
Among the most striking costumes were those worn by Marnie McKee and
Marguerite Nuthall as Chinese, K . Armstrong and D . Maclaren as Indians, Dorothy
Blanche as a gypsy, Marcia Harris as a pirate, Helen West as a Spanish dancer, Mar-
garet Hubbs ( B K ) , as a Turkish Sultan, Eleanor Walker ( B K ) , as Iolanthe and
Essie Blanchard as the Northern Lights.

These attractive young "co-eds" who are officers of the Butler University chapter
of Alpha Omicron Pi for this year apparently have gone into a huddle over their
duties. Left to right: Hannah Secttor, secretary; Charlotte Pcclc, president;
Mary Alice Burch, treasurer; Betty Hall, vice president.—Indianapolis News.

TO S A V E space and therefore money it seemed wise to your editor to choose this
method of chapter news presentation again. We've attached the chapter letters
in the margin to give more ease in finding your own chapter's contribution. Again

of pledge parties, initiation banquets, Panhellenic gatherings, winter formals, chil-
dren's parties, house showers. Our Grand President, Kathryn Bremer Matson ( T ) ,
has visited at ALT, B T , and the southern chapters anticipate her visit to them before
Easter. These chapters have found her visits helpful and inspiring. They have enter-
tained her in various ways, usually giving representatives of other sororities an op-
portunity to meet her as well as our own members and alumna;. A list of pledges

annual dance recital of her artist students. Julia Dodson ('33), Lida Stokes ('33),
Ruby Reed ('34), and Ann Bundick ('35), are taking outstanding parts in the

MARCH, 1933 65

Miss Whiteside has become well known throughout college circles f o r her Greek
plays. T w o remarkable features of these performances are that the cast is com-
posed entirely of students, and moreover it is not given in translation but in the
original Greek. This year Julia Dodson ('33), is to have the principal part, Hecuba.
The rest of the cast has not yet been selected. Since jig-saw puzzles have become
such a fad it was decided that we turn our Christmas party into a puzzle party.
Small puzzles were made out of the Christmas cards received f r o m the other A O I I
chapters. Each couple, consisting of a pledge and an active member, was given a
puzzle and the pair that finished first was given a prize. This was the first time
that the cards were shown to the chapter and it was great f u n to assemble the
pieces and see w h o sent the cards. A f t e r this contest the freshmen took their stockings
down f r o m the fireplace and played w i t h their toys. Then the freshmen surprised
the chapter most pleasantly by presenting us w i t h a handsome overstuffed chair.
Ko—Margaret Tallichet ('35), had five A's this term. She was the only sophomore girl
on the honor roll. Ella Kate Malone replaces Anita Wadlington as recording secre-
tary and M a r y Allie Taylor is the new corresponding secretary instead of K a t h r y n
Harris. Jessie Richmond replaces Grace Braun as treasurer. T w o of the members of
Kappa Omicron chapter have received great honors recently. Ella Kate Malone ('34),
was elected "Miss Southwestern" by the student body of Southwestern. Zelda O'Brian
was elected the most beautiful girl in the sophomore class. Her picture, w i t h those
of the other winners, has been sent to Hollywood, where Clark Gable w i l l select
the most beautiful.

KG—Kappa Theta held a benefit fashion show at Roos Brothers, Hollywood, on Febru-
ary 3, to raise money f o r the National Philanthropic W o r k . Marguerite Page ('35),
was in charge, and assisting her as hostesses were, Henrietta (Pete) Blank ('33),
Madeline Hannon ('33), Martha Bell Cook ('34), and Charlese Pepper ('34). The
clothes were modeled by Phyliss Parr ('34), Hildegarde Mohan ('34), Harriett Hinds
('35), Yvonne Kobe ('35), Ruth Oberg ('35), Margaret Manuel ('35), Blythe Ring-
quest ('33), Frances Kildalh ('36), Stella Wilhclm ('35), and Lorraine Miller ('36).
A raffle was held at intermission, Virginia Overbeck ('34), winning the lovely scarf.
The entertainment was furnished by Dean Burney, accompanied by Margaret Rey-
nolds ('34). Coffee and cookies were served by the pledges. B i j o u Brinkop ('33),
has been elected president of Agathai, senior women's honorary organization. I n
appreciation f o r her many services to the University, she has been asked to pour
at the Orientation tea, in Kerkoff H a l l , held at the beginning of each semester in
honor of the freshmen women. Hildegarde Mohan ('34), vice president of the junior
class, is assisting her. Hildegarde has charge of arrangements f o r the yearly cord
dance. Phyliss Parr has been very active this year on Junior Council. The three
"Campus Crooners," two of w h o m are Alpha O's Margaret Reynolds ('34), and
Frances Morris ('34)—have been greatly in demand since their recent appearance
in Campus Capers. Betty Bradstreet ('34), took part in the "Rival Queens," pro-
duced by X A * , English honorary, into which she was recently initiated.

N — Jane Morrissey succeeded Alice Mobley as treasurer when Alice was seriously i n -
jured in an automobile accident last month. Ruth Gliddon was elected to assist
Jane with her work. Elizabeth Beatty was graduated this February.

Extra funds are very handy around here these days so in order to raise some
for N u chapter many of the actives are planning to give bridges at the house to
which they will invite their friends. The girls giving the bridges will contribute
the prizes. There w i l l be a charge of fifty cents per person and the proceeds, after
the expenses for refreshments have been deducted, w i l l go to the sorority philan-
thropic fund. We took quite an active part in the Violet Skull Intrafratcrnity play.
Mrs. Breckenridge, founder of the Frontier Nursing Service gave an illustrated
lecture on the work done by the nurses in Kentucky. Jeanette Engles was hostess at
the reception held after the lecture. Belle Batho, a pledge, was successful in her-
tryout for the basketball team. Maxine Brackcr, Milliccnt Hilderbrant and Marge
Fenlon have been appointed members of the Varsity swimming team.

N K — I r m a Sigler, our president, has been elected to the scholarship committee of Pan-

the newly elected president of "Bachelor Maides," a junior-senior social society
to which the members are elected by their various sororities. Helen Bramwell ('33),
our treasurer, was recently elected to this society, at the same time receiving a
bid to become a member of "Scribblers," the junior-senior literary society. Martha
Roberts, one of our «1>HK members, also received a b i d t o "Scribblers." Sue Lanier
("33), our president, is also president of "Scribblers"; M a r y Eleanor Rodenhouser,
our vice president, is president of Panhcllenic; Elizabeth H i l l , our secretary, is
president of "Bachelor Maides"; W i n n Ownbey is president of "Co-Editors," the
freshman-sophomore literary society; and, M a r y Alice Farr, one of our new members
this year, was elected "Miss Vanderbilt" by popular vote. We have several new
organizations on the campus. The most important of these is called the Vanderbilt
Valkyries. I t is composed of the non-fraternity girls—those who were unable t o
pledge a sorority for any reason. I n December the Valkyries were guests of the
Alpha O's at an enjoyable bridge luncheon. On January 28 they entertained w i t h
a beautiful initial reception, the bid list of which included the entire faculty and
student body. The Women's Glee Club is perhaps our newest and youngest or-
ganization. I t was organized about the middle of January and is under the supervision
of Professor Stetson Humphreys, who is head of the voice department of W a r d -
Belmont College. The girls have turned out for it in large numbers and it looks
like a great amount of success is i n store f o r it.
f j — A basketball team was organized after Christmas and we were victorious in the
first game of the season, outplaying 02)T. M a r y Conover, Sara Struble, and Emily
Corlett are among the outstanding meml>crs on our team. Isabel Clarke has been
prominent in musical activities, having appeared in several concerts on the campus.
Glcnna Freeman, our newest pledge, received high scholastic honors for first semester
work.

her home in Kansas City where she has a position. Dorothy was our vice president;
Eleanor Massman has been elected to fill her position. R u t h Pyle and Wanda Pcrrin
have leading dances in the T 2 recital. Tau Sigma is the honorary dancing sorority
for Kansas University women. Mother Landis and Oleta Markham attended the
state inauguration and reception at Topcka. Kansas. Oleta's father has recently been
appointed State Superintendent of Public Instruction,

n — This year we doubled the size of our sorority rooms; the pledges undertook to
decorate and furnish the new part, and have made it their place for meetings. The
rooms are decorated in the sorority's red and white and are really very attractive.
The new rooms were opened with a house-warming; there was a supper, and each
member brought some gift f o r the room. Pi chapter celebrated Christmas in the
traditional fashion. Our regular Sunday night supper was turned into a Christmas
party w i t h a tree, and presents for everyone. No one could have left that party
without really having that good old spirit of Santa Claus and Christmas stockings.
Perhaps we appreciated Christmas more, because we helped others to have a merry
Yulctide; besides sending a box to a needy family in Kentucky, we filled stockings
for poor children in New Orleans.

I I A — T h e anniversary of the installation into A O I I was celebrated by a buffet supper
at the house. Instead of the usual presentation of gifts by classes, we put our
money together and bought furniture for the sunparlor. Bertha Cannon, house
manager, made the arrangements and presented the gift. A lovely surprise in form
of a card table and chairs came from Buckey Clemson and Kay Siehler. This
celebration is a glorious Homecoming for all IIA members and makes a delightful
annual affair. We also keep the anniversary of the dedication of our new home. So
February 12 is given over to entertaining the faculty members of other fraternities
and sororities and friends of the chapter at tea. The president of our Mothers' Club,
