tAlpha Omicron Ti—^l (fraternity of (friends

C O N V E N T I O N always brings to us with a greater force than we have felt
before that Alpha Omicron Pi is so truly a fraternity of friends, a fraternity
n which race, creed and locality matter not at all so long as a girl has the qualities
of our Founders and as long as she keeps before her the ideals of fine women, the
charity of a sister, love for humanity. At an Alpha O convention one finds no
ofnshness, no feeling of superiority among groups from one section of the country
or another. The soft southern vowels slip out in silvery cascades to be answered
by the rounded syllables of the New Englanders; the broad speech of the midwestern
alls ^fter the broader lines of the far westerner. The girl from the small woman's

. . I . - a strong ally in her sister from the great university. Their campus
i u may differ, but they are both alive with the same buoyant youthfulness.
L ..y place one looks there are groups of strangers, strange only because they've
never met in person before, instantly drawn together by the familiar pin each wears.
It's like a great family reunion with the Founders the only people who seem to
know everyone.

But you say convention lasts but a week and most of us can never go, so what
s the value of our fraternity after college days are over?

Have you ever moved to a large, strange city where you felt lost—you kno\d
no one except the people in your apartment house, and they're not very congenial?
Have you felt the thrill of answering the telephone to hear that an Alpha O has
read in T o DRAGMA that you've moved into her city and she'd like to have you
come to alumna; meetings? And have you gone, finding new friends by the half
dozens all in one evening? Or have you moved to a tiny town, way off in the
"sticks," you tell your friends at home, to find that an Alpha O is the wife of the
village dentist or teaches in the high school? Have you been traveling in far coun-
tries and have you found a bright shining ruby-tipped pin looking straight into your
eyes? Then you have known the value of this fraternity of friends. There can
be no greater thrill than to find a new sister-friend in a tucked-away place where
you were sure you'd be quite bored. If she wears our symbol, she is never a
Granger, for you have all the ritual and ideals of the fraternity in common. If
you are moving or traveling, keep a fraternity directory handy. You'll find friends
quickly.

But perhaps you haven't reached the married and moving or professional and
hanging class; perhaps you're still in college, an active member or perhaps you're
not even a fraternity member, you may be just a rushee. You, too, have a fact to
{ ^ P uppermost in your minds. Alpha Omicron Pi has chapters in most of the
State universities and in the finest colleges in the country. Affiliation in chapters
other than your initiating chapter is automatic. "Once you are ours, you are ours
forever." Alpha O's are alike the states over, what difference that Gamma in Maine
"jitiated you, Sigma will welcome you into chapter meeting to vote if you transfer.
y ° u will find new fraternity friends in every active chapter for Alpha Omicron Pi
s a fraternity of friends!

You creature who beckons with tantalizing fingers,
Leading men to glory ivhere-in you lie
Through despair, discouragement, your name lingers
Then slowly you appear after they die!

The J^ament of Tai J^ung

By -SALLY S U E A L L E N , Upsilon

Daughter of a pale lotus blossom,
Blue smoke curls around you;
And the scarlet of your lips is agonizing.
Your little feet

In golden slippers with flaming heels
Dance upon my heart
As I sit in this garden.
And your eyes mock me
From the cool jade of the temple.

You once were here
In this garden;
With the perfume of your mother lotus
hi your hair.
The dusky night hid you,
But your face, ivilh its scarlet mouth
Glimmered through the shadow;
And blossoms of peach and chrysanthemum
Mingled with the scent of the garden.

But now you are gone, heels
Daughter of moon and the lotus;
And silver bells
In the jade temple
Call, and the garden holds me.
For blue smoke curls around you,
And your little feet .
In golden slippers with their scarlet
Still dance upon my heart.

'Pigeons on the Sculptured faints

[Old Trinity, New York]

By S T E L L A G . S. P E R R Y , Alpha

In foliate arches stand the saints in line hordes

Like silent cedars by a turbulent glade
Or sacred grove upon a palisade
Above this flood of men, aloof, divine.
To pigeons, wearied of their hungry quest
For food and drink 'mid wheels and worrying
With tree-nostalgic eyes, each saint affords
A quiet haven and a place to rest.

So let the mind, fatigued with foreign noise Ei>cning Post
And worn with famished searching in the street,
Uplifting from the dust, take homing flight,
In some high tranquil place a moment poise,
Find sanctuary at some sage's feet,
On sainted heart serene fold wing and sight.

The (fireplace

By E L I Z A B E T H W E N N I N G , NU Omicron

11:00 P.M.
In an open fire

Wee sooty creatures
Dance out their ire;

Arabesque, grotesque features
Whirl about
Flashing before the eye.

Soon they are without
Heading toward the sky:
Vacant stand narrow halls

And life between four walls.

1:00 A.M.
So into the grate of my mind

Dancing thoughts appear;
Stealing into heart and head,
Imagined in yellow, imaged in red,

The past is pictured here.
Not long they linger; dreams must fly,
Fairylike, but never die:

Their ash is left behind.

To quote the chairman of our house fund, "This means that she is well-versed

"Sxtra Qirl," 3\ew <9\bvel by <Mrs. Terry

EX T R A Girl," Stella George Stern Perry's latest novel assures us again of Mrs.
Perry's versatility. Less than two years ago her very fine historical novel
The Defenders" came from the press of Frederick A. Stokes. Now comes a novel
hich has as its only point of comparison, the background of the first part of the
ew book. Louisiana with its colorful Evangeline pageant has been chosen as the
ome of Odile Vaure who becomes the "extra girl." She's a charming girl who has

secret passion to become a movie star. Circumstance allows her to go to Holly-
ood, and her struggle to attain success forms the plot of the novel.

The story will hold you with its fine dramatic inter-plots, but to the reviewer
he most splendid part of the book is the philosophy that you will find sprinkled
hrough it. If you are fortunate enough to be acquainted with our author-Founder,
ou will be delighted by finding in print some of those thoughts that she's so
uen spoken over tea cups.

If you have a young friend frantic to join the throngs of movie folk, give her
copy of "Extra Girl." The glamour of the silver screen, its romantic heroes, lovely
Wes and dashing cowboys fade under Mrs. Perry's realism. Life in that land of
ake-believe is quite normal in its demands for food, shelter and raiment, fine
aiment, too, though how often have you thought of the many thankful prayers
at have gone up when word came to many extras that they were wanted for a
w scenes as you have watched a mob storm a gate. I t may me"an a proper meal
a pair of stockings for many of them. If you are a film fan, you will recognize
m e of the more prominent stars among Mrs. Perry's characters.

Y ou'll be interested to learn some of the motives that take young people to that
cca of silent drama; of ambitious mothers and juvenile stars; of the tempta-
ons thrown out to starved and worn youth; of that other half of Hollywood, the
? °f homes and babies. It's just the right book for a pleasant week-end, and
r e so glad our own Mrs. Perry has written it for us.

T*ooch puncheon and a 'Balloon Affair
th
H I D E L T A gave two very effective parties last year that we'd like to tell jk so
about. The first was a Calico Dog luncheon called the Pooch Lunchtti
p
There were calico dog place cards and the dogs were used for favors and deed] th
tions. Hazel Lee has the pattern if anyone would like to use it. They h
parked all around the dining room in the queerest positions possible. The meB r
included a pooch salad (made by splitting a ring of pineapple in half and setts °
them up together to form the four legs.) Place a long body made by moldil
pimento cheese so that it forms body and tail on the pineapple. The head isj t
marshmallow and the ears arc pieces of pimento. The salad dressing is on th
lettuce leaf on which the dog stands. (Be sure to have the salad on the tab '
when the guests go into the dining room.) The luncheon course is link -ausaj jw
and mashed potatoes in a cup-like shape filled with gravy, et cetera. The dess*
was ice cream with a dog face stuck into it. •™

The second party was a balloon luncheon. The place cards were made like v
basket with balloons attached to the top of it. Balloons were everywhere. Tj
menu was made up of a whole candied red apple on a lettuce leaf; meat pat( r

made as round as possible; very round potatoes, peas, round butter balls, ct cetera;
R e dessert was round balls of ice cream with toothpick stuck into the cream, each
bearing a balloon-like maraschino cherry on its end, round cookies.

Omicron T V Qives 'Bohemian Tea

/ ~ \ M I C R O X Pi's aim in the decorations and refreshments was to create the
\ J necessary atmosphere for a native Bohemian Den.

As much of the furniture was removed from our sitting rooms as possible in
order to give adequate room for dancing and the pieces of furniture were replaced
by as many pillows as we could borrow, beg, and create. They were placed along
he side of the room in groups of three or four. Bright colored pieces of scarfs and
dressing gowns were draped over mantels and book cases. The air was heavy with
ncensc.

The rushees began to arrive and the orchestra played dreamy tunes for dancing.
In our dining room card tables were set along the wall with chairs set for
wo. Plain brown wrapping paper covers the tables, candles in bottles provide
he necessary light.
From the kitchen came cider and Bohemian rolls (especially made by a local
baker, a native roll with prunes in them). Boxes of candy cigarettes were on the
able.

Qinderella 'Ball

1 1 'HK most successful party N u Omicron have ever given was our Cinderella
Ball. It was the second of a series of three teas. Alumnai could not be

present, but let me say that our alumna? always are present in the kitchen at a
ime like this.

Invitations were sent out in the form of a huge Grandfather clock—to toll

he hours four local Panhellenic limits the time the freshmen may stay at each

orority party).
For the ball the entire downstairs of our house was thrown open, and with

palms and purple made into a royal court. Carpeted steps led up to a raised

hrone which was Hanked by tall cathedral candelabra and flower stands. The
house was lighted with burning tapers—and tapestry and ornaments made the place

regally splendid. "Alums" and actives joined hands in borrowing and begging to
°uild an impressive court scene for Alpha O.

When the rushees arrived, the door was opened by knights in real armour,

the pirls were escorted through the palace and upstairs to leave their wraps—
hen seated in the reception rooms. Not a person but the doormen greeted them,

'hey were awed and amazed. When every invited guest had arrived—two heralds

wnounced with trumpets from the balcony—the approaching royal train to the
rams of "Pomp and Circumstance" the procession came down the step and

•™"pugh the aisle to the throne. A king queen—the prince charming—ladies-in-
arting.—dukes and duchesses—the step-mother—step-sisters—the fairy Godmother
the court jester—they were all there. When the king and queen were seated—

vuiderella—a tiny, Huffy bit of beauty—arrived in her coach.

Before the court Cinderella was wed to the prince with courtly solemnity.

rn,!lM|Ca' c r sn u m r , by famous entertainers made the party delightful. Then the

>ers of the court mixed with the guests and liveried footmen served three-

nu r i ^ ' -C r c Wedding salad—frozen slippers—and cakes containing the
ri snmen,s

t h e f t ' —s y m b o s were suggestive parts of the menu. As the time drew near for

fron ^°Ur t o ' ^s t r e—a spangled Fairy God Mother with her wand drew forth

a pumpkin—sparkling iridescent pairs of beaded garters for the guests,

toe-two-three-four-five the hall clock chimed. A rags and ashes maid fled in
da r ) our guests departed almost as hurriedly—but not in such dejection.

^ . he party was lots of fun—wc made the invitations and the garters ourselves

everybody helped decorate.

It may sound strange in the telling but we have never found a more effective
way of breaking the ice. Even the shyest girls laugh and act perfectly at home.

^4 cJt^ose Qabaret

/ ~ % \ T . of Pi Delta's parties is always some form of a cabaret party given in
V > / the house. One year it was a scene in a pirate den. It is now the custom
to have all parties formal so our cabaret is more like a night club. The house is
decorated as the Rose Hall with little tables on which are red candles, around the
sides. As far as it is possible three freshmen and one active Alpha 0 are seated
at each table, all in evening dresses.

Other Alpha O's are dressed in short red costumes with tight bodice and
trousers which stand out romper fashion on the sides. On their heads they wear
white ruffled waitress caps. These girls serve the guests with three or four courses
of red and white food, carrying out the rose idea as far as possible.

Of course the place cards are decorated with roses, as were the hand made
invitations. Roses are on the tables and in the background.

After the food has been served a night club program furnishes entertainment.
We have the songs about our rose and always use our own Pi Delta song, "The
Garden of Alpha O." One act on the program consists of a song chorus of the
"Spelling Song.'' The waitresses in their red costumes come into the room in
single file keeping close enough behind each other to hide the white letters they have
on the front of their costumes. They enter with a step in time with the music
of the "Spelling Song." When all are in line in the room they sing and as each
sings her letter, " A - L - P - H - A starts the run," the girl turns to face the audience
until A L P H A O M I C R O N PI is spelled. The song is then repeated more rapidly
and the girls go off.

There are other acts of this sort on the program after which the whole chapter
sings songs and then dance with the freshmen between tables. B y having this party
a formal dress one we have avoided any tendency towards boisterousness or con-
fusion. The only favor the freshmen receive is a rose or two.

Qamma Awards rJMost Outstanding ^Member

By ISABELLA B . L Y O N , Gamma

H P H E Gamma girls have decided to reward that Jfighest
JL member who at the end of each year shall be
judged to have done the most for the chapter.

Hence at the last important meeting of the
year, in the charming home that Joyce Stevens has
so graciously opened to us several times during the
season, and in whose drawing room we had just
finished the installation exercises, the plan of show-
ing our gratitude to our most valuable member

was formed.
Ruth Meservey was the choice of the commit-

tee. R u t h who devises favors f o r our parties, who
has ingenious ideas f o r straightening quirks in our
budget, who interviews those who must be inter-
viewed; Ruth, who not only makes the major
plans but who w i t h infinite capability takes care
lest any minor detail go awry, was immediately
acclaimed and later presented with a copy of the
Rose.

W telling you that the reason we decided upon

Gladys Hawickhorst as our most active Alpha Qj

is that the Dean of Butler women and Chimes, th«

club which she sponsors, had chosen her last spring

for membership, because of her personality, digni

of character, activity on the campus, and scho'

ship.
When she was graduated f r o m high scho

she won the Riley Medal, which is given by Arse"

Technical High School in Indianapolis, for schol

ship and excellence in English. A t the end of htf]

freshman year she was presented w i t h the W o m a n !

League cup for having the highest grade averagfl

of any freshman girl. I n her sophomore year sbfl

Gladys Hawickhorst was elected to Torch, the honorary society ftfl

OCTOBER, 1929 65

sophomore girls, and as wc mentioned was pledged to Chimes, the honor society
for junior girls.

Aside f r o m these honors, she has maintained active membership in M a t h Club,
French Club, Woman's League, Y.W.C.A., and is treasurer of Beta Thcta chapter.

This is her junior year at Butler, and she has recently received a $100 scholarship
for it from Scarlet Quill, the honorary senior society.

You are wondering what sort of paragon she is. She isn't a paragon; she's an
all-round good sport. She loves dancing, hiking, swimming, and laughing at funny
things. She plays the piano and is inordinately f o n d of reading. A n d one of her
nicest qualities is that she is absolutely unaware that she is a rather extraordinary
girl.

| " " * \ N E of the best known and best liked girls on
V-' the campus of Florida State College for Wo-
men is Lorena Eaddy. This popularity is attributed
to two factors, her outstanding personality, and her
ability to do things.

Lorena is of the petite type whom one would
never suspect of being burdened with any responsible
duties. Nevertheless she is very active in all campus
affairs. As a freshman, not so green as most, she
"made" Freshman Commission, a branch of the Stu-
jwnt Government Association and was a member of
the College Glee Club and orchestra.

During her sophomore year she was chosen to
suig in the Junior Minstrel and took the leading
part in the Odd Demonstration which is the most
important event of the Homecoming season. She
was a member of the Campus Social Committee,
played in the college orchestra, and this year was
selected as Glee Club soloist.

I n 1928, she was chosen College Song Leader
which was a real honor, for the song leader directs
a ' l assembly singing on the campus. She was again soloist of the Glee Club and
a member of the orchestra. She took part in many of the dramatic productions
°* that year. I n May of 1028, she received a certificate in voice and piano
and a degree in public school music.

I n her senior year she had the part of the Singing Fairy in the Senior's
Huisummcr Night's Dream. She has devoted much of her time to the college
orchestra and in addition to being soloist was elected president of the Glee Club.

Despite her many outside activities Lorena has held the very responsible office
treasurer and has proved herself a very w o r t h y and efficient Alpha O.
