Attention! Alumnae!
-f- ALUMN.F.! The word implies that you are the older, more mature members of Alpha Omicron PL You no longer pay active chapter dues; you no longer attend weekly meetings; either by virtue of a degree or by cancellation of enrollment, you have terminated your undergraduate membership in Alpha Omicron Pi. Did you join the fraternity for life or for only a brief interim in your collegiate career? Alpha Omicron Pi expected you to belong to its circle for a life time and you have only to renew your charge to realize that your obligations and associations could not end in a few short years. If you wish to do nothing more than be known to us, will you please feel obliged to return the blank which you find at the bottom of the page? Its return is vital to the records in the office and it is the one act of appreciation we request in return for the enjoyment you have received from the meeting you have had with old friends through the pages of this
issue.
Your member-at-large dues will be appreciated if you are not a member of an alumna* chapter. These dues help to operate the Central Office, to send coorganizers to new campuses, to pay the tuition of girls worthy of completing their college courses but who are unable to do so without help and who, in return for this help, aid in the building up Of chapters hard-pressed.
If each of you would send a dollar to The Social Service Fund when you return the information blank, wonderful things could be accomplished in Kentucky this year. Make it a Thanksgiving donation. A coin of less denomination will be welcome.

Fellowship Holder Wins
Doctor's Praise
_4_ A PRETTY 1932 graduate of the Newcomb College art school, Miss Beverly Walton, 607 Nashville avenue, is devoting her talents to a little-known field of medical science, med-

book. Hers is a difficult task. While the sur- geon deftly incises an abdomen or removes a goiter she must dodge among the little group of busy nurses and sketch every step in the operation. Later, in her office in the pathol- ogy laboratory, she completes the drawing un- til it takes on that lifelike appearance of the gruesome illustrations of medical textbooks.
Miss Walton herself presents a sharp con- trast to the subjects of her art. She is softly feminine and dark and pretty. She looks more like the portrait painter she once planned to be-
"New Orleans is going to be proud of that girl," said a prominent surgeon yesterday, planning to publish her latest drawing in a medical journal.
"Her work is excellent and we can't give her too much work to do," he added.
"Medical illustrating," he explained, "is al- most a necessary part of hospital activity to- day." The drawings are kept as records or made into lantern slides for lectures or in research work. "New Orleans has been a pio- neer in this field," the doctor declared.
While Miss W alton was contemplating por- trait painting as a career a New Orleans doc- tor, Dr. A. L. Levin, happened to see some of her drawings, suggested she try surgical sketching and encouraged her to take up the profession.
"I knew I would need to know anatomy thoroughly," said Miss W alton yesterday at Touro, "so I took anatomy at Tulane univer- sity." She studied there for one year and entered Johns Hopkins university in 1934 to study under the world famous Dr. Max Bro- del, formerly of Leipzig, Germany. She plans to !>egin her second year this fall under a fel- lowship and complete the course next June.
"After I make the first sketch in the oper- ating room," said Miss Walton, "the doctor takes the drawing for corrections." After the corrections are made the drawing is ready for the final process.—New Orleans Times Picayune.

Mrs. Carmody, a University of California graduate, comes to Berkeley from New York, where she was assigned by the New York State Employment office to work at River- side Church, New York City. Experiences of handling between 600 and 1,000 cases a month for whom suitable and permanent employment was desired were told by Mrs. Carmody. Among the applicants for work, she said, were so many foreigners that a real "Amer- ican voice" was the exception rather than the rule.

It is the first time in the history of the as- sociation, the largest in the state, that an ab- sent member has been so honored at an an- nual meeting. Miss Chapin succeeds Dr. Clar- ence H . Dempsey of Arlington.
A member o f the association conveyed word of the sick teacher's election to her.
Shortly after Miss Chapin left the Maiden high school last June for the summer recess she became ill while vacationing in Laconia.
Six weeks ago an operation was performed, from which she is still convalescing.
She is expected to return to her teaching duties within the next month.—Boston Sunday A dvcrtiscr.

MEMBERS of Alpha Omicron Pi and
pledges to the sorority will be the guests of Miss Betty Hadley and Mrs. Jack Garton at tea Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of Miss Hadley, 1037 East Clifton.
Miss ('allender Weltner, president of Lamb- da Sigma Chapter at the University of Geor- gia; Mrs. Fay Pearce, alumna adviser to this group, and Mrs. Alan Ford, president of the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter, who represented the sorority at the national convention last week at Lake Forrest, Blinois, will report on their trip at this time.

Ann Greenawalt Wins Maxwell
Award
ANN GREENAWALT (B<P), retiring presi-
dent of W.A.A., was awarded the James haruiii Maxwell medal for being the most outstanding senior in the association at the annual W.A.A. senior banquet held on June 4 in the Union building. The medal was pre- sented by Miss Edna Munroe, head of the
W omen's Physical Education department. The tradition of awarding a medal to the most outstanding senior in W.A.A. was estab- lished in 1919 by Miss Juliette Maxwell, one of the founders of the organization. The medal is in honor of Miss Maxwell's father. In addition to the medal presentation, I . U . monograms were awarded to Ruth Newman, Doris Davis and Ann Greenawalt. Numerals were received by Marcelle Zmudzinski, '38; Ruth Reiss, '37; Helen Skinkle, '37; Clara

There are days in which one is not permit-
ted to lean upon traditions. Every institution, no matter how time-honored or how bolstered by sentiment, has had to come under the un- sympathetic spotlight of investigation, and has been forced to prove its right to continuation. College fraternities have not escaped this searching, but they have come through the testing remarkably well. This focusing of at- tention on something whose worth has been taken for granted has had only wholesome re- actions. A n organization required to produce the reason for its being, restates its ideals and purposes with renewed energy and supports them with a sincerity born of awakened re sponsibility.
As a Western college president recently said: "The need for fraternities is as great today as it ever was. If fraternities, like ath- letics, had not grown up, we should have had to invent them. But they must fulfill different needs and must change their objectives with new times and fresh circumstances."
Women's fraternities are found largely in co-educational schools, which type of institu- tion finds its stronghold in the West and Mid- dle West. Hence the fact that the women's

Greek-letter badges arc not so well known in
the East as are the emblems of men's na-
tionals. But a listing of a few of the many Kelsey, publicity director of the American
fraternity women who have won distinction will show how deeply these organizations have penetrated into college life, and how impor- tant is their contribution to national life, if one may judge by the type of woman they have helped to produce.
Woman's Association, and'Mrs. E. J. Durand, manager of the Pauhellenic House at 3 Mitch- ell Place, New York, a hotel and clubhouse that was put up by local alumna? groups of national women's fraternities, and where they have their headquarters.
In the field of education a few names that
come to mind are Jessica Finch Cosgrove,
Sare Sturdevant, Leta Hollingsworth, Mary
DeGarmo Bryan, Virginia Gildersleeve, Ada L. Comstock, Louise Pound, Iva Peters, Louise Tribune. Fitch, Anna Many (IT) and Mary L. Keller.
Names to conjure with in the literary world are Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Alice Duer Mil- ler, Pearl Buck and Dorothy Thompson. Gen- evieve Taggart, poet; Irita Van Doren, editor of the New York Herald Tribune "Books"; Mabel P . Daggett, Mary Ellen Chase ( r ) , Nora Wain, Grace S. Richmond, Elizabeth Corbett, Cornelia Stratton Parker, Mrs. Charles A. Beard and Virginia Frazier Boyle, "Poet Laureate of the South," by no means complete the list.
In the theater a variety of phases are rep- resented by Helen Arthur (N), producer; Ag- nes DeMille, dancer; Halle Stiles, soprano of the Chicago Opera, and Sue Hastings in the marionette field.
Greek-letter women who have achieved no- table law careers are Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, Lena Madesin Phillips, Mary Powle, Annette Abbott Adams, Helen McCormick and Pinckney Estes Glantzberg (*). Among lecturers and authorities on public affairs there are Ida Wright Bowman and Jessie Wallace Hughan ( A ) .
In the field of social and welfare work one finds Joanna Colcord (T), Josephine Schain. Mary L. Simkhovitch and Grace Abbott, of the United States Children's Bureau.
In journalism three leading women come to mind: Genevieve Forbes Herrick, heard weekly on the radio; Mary Margaret Mc- Bride, author and newspaper woman, and Sara Haardt Mencken, an able journalist on her own account and not outshone by her gifted husband (Henry L. Mencken).
One of the world's foremost women in ath- letics, Helen Wills Moody, wears a Greek emblem, as do her tennis colleagues, Helen Jacobs and Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman. Jane Fauntz, the young Olympic diver, carries her fraternity loyalty as far into the water as the aviators, Louise Van Thaden and Betty Huy- ler Gillies mount with theirs into the air.
Followers of Clara, Lou an' Em on the ra- dio will wonder that college fraternity women can master the vernacular and the colloquial so well.
•Other unusual vocations pursued by Greek- letter wearers are the mastery of heraldy, the career of Emily Butterfield, and the photo- graphing of mechanical devices by Margaret Bourke-White ( O i l ) .
AOII Wins Scholastic Honor

-+- Miss JANET MEDITCH, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Meditch, 5139 Park Ave- nue, a student at Northwestern University, is eligible for Alpha Lambda Delta, national

But do you think she said this wistfully, dear reader, or with the least tinge of regret? She did not—for her face lighted up as we jumped off our coping to go indoors, and she told me about the wanderings in Spain and the Dalmatian Coast and Jugoslavia and the islands in the yEgean Sea she hoped to enjoy this summer.
How truly Lillian Schoedler can say, with the author of a little verse she gave me:

Rod and I were married in the Presbyterian Church in Winchester and I had my two sisters as attendants. My two brothers were among the six ushers so the family was well represented. In case you're interested, I wore white mousseline de soie with a very simple tulle veil—the dress had a cording of mousseline around the square neck and accordion plaits around the bottom of the skirt which formed a train. I carried white garden flowers and my sisters carried yellow snapdragons and blue delphinium and wore yellow and blue mousseline respectively, with hats to match their dresses. The reception was in the garden at home. I had a perfectly marvelous time—never enjoyed a wedding so much! Rod and I motored to Canada and back, spending about two weeks and now we

Kendall teaches four miles from her home
in Horsehcads. Also she is doing a great
deal of Little Theater work. She says,
"a one-time hobby has grown into almost a
profession. That, plus social activities, keeps
me in a whirl." Carol was elected to mean-
bership in the Zonta Club of Elmira. It is
a business and professional women's club,
very similar to the Rotary Club. It was an
honor to be chosen because Carol is the only
member who is not a resident of Elmira.
She spent two weeks at Cape Cod and en-
joyed being in the midst of the summer
theater district. Carol certainly gave the
alumna? who met at Krebs for a party to the
seniors, a nice compliment. She writes, "It
was grand seeing so many people that I
hadn't seen in so long. Beatrice Barron

she goes out on the street and picks up the
three dirtiest urchins there and brings them
in and when she scrubs them off they always
turn out to be her three. She must make a
darling mother. Ted Petri Olrich, last year,

Mildred Sittser Olsen is having a grand time bringing up her daughter and small son. Mildred has a lovely new home. She still talks as fast as anything and is always one step ahead of you. Every time I see Gertrude Koch she is knit- ting a suit or making lace. Gertrude has been very helpful in the New Jersey Alumnae group. I went to the Alpha O convention this summer. Miss Wyman and four of us drove out together. What a time I had, with no family cares at all. Convention was won- derful as always, and I was so sorry that no more Chi girls were there. I learned from our active delegate that for a couple of years the actives had a chapter of forty girls, but lately we have fallen far below that. Now, with the new house in the fraternity district, perhaps things will go a little better.
Please let me make a last plea—won't you put down all the news you hear about Chi alumnae and send it to me so that in our February issue we will have a nice, long, newsy letter?

She expects to teach again this year at Las Vegas, Nevada, near Boulder City and the Boulder Dam. Audrey Lamont Gregg ('28) is still in Connersville, Indiana ; a new son was born on September 6, on his brother's birth- day. Luella Kerner Tucker ('28) and Edwin were in Glenwood, New Mexico, on a forestry job. Imogene Hadley Dodson ('28) is still in Florence, but she and her husband have been traveling around the country. I didn't see her at Market Week, in Denver as usual this year. Beulah Wylie Becker is lost! That is, I can't find anyone who has her address. Le me know what it is, if you know it. Eva Boillot Markley ('28), who has been so kind to all Chi Delta girls, especially to me, was in Denver for Market Week this year, but I didn't get to see her. Her home is at Wel- dona, Colorado. Violette Ward Sorensen ('29) spent a month or more in Denver and there was a luncheon reunion with Vivian Gingles Stone ('32), who was in town from Kansas City. Some of the Denver crowd got together at Baur's for lunch. I believe that Louise Carter ('33), Elizabeth Lamont ('32), Effie Lu Gleason Miles ('32), Frances Raynolds ('31), Florence Miller Lynch (ex '33), Adnell Leonard Gray (ex '33), Melba Fuller Hyde (ex '32), and Barbara Meyer Gooch (ex '35) were among those present.
I was told that Dorothy Foster ('29) was married on April 10, to George Ralph, an engineer, in Los Angeles. She is now living in Denver at 333 E. 16th, at the Grosvenor Arms Apartments. I just received her ad- dress and so haven't seen her yet. Camille French Kearns ('29) has a new son, David Richard, born March 20. He weighed seven pounds and two ounces. Mr. Kearns teaches at the University of Illinois and received his Ph.D. in June from the Entomology Depart- ment. I should like to hear from her. Luella Tucker ('28) sent her love to the Chi Delta girls when she answered my note about our annual Spring Corporation meeting. We were all sorry to learn of the death of Nell Scott's ('27) mother just before Christmas of last year. The funeral was held on Christmas Eve. Constance Goodner Frost ('27) was a United States visitor, last summer, from Mexico. Her address is Mrs. J. F. Frost, Apartado 71, Mexico, D. G, Mexico. Con- stance visited Blanche Clark W aters ('27), too, at 1415 Grand Avenue, Grand Junction. Ariel, her husband, manages the Montgomery Ward store there. Hesper Tucker Roberts ('30) was ill part of last year, but taught near Clayton, New Mexico.
Mary V. Wells ('30) enjoyed a very pleas- ant trip to New York, Quebec, Washington, D. C , Kansas City, and intermediate points. She traveled from the AOIT convention with a Brighton teacher. She plans to teach at Brighton again next year in the English De- partment. Ruth Stewart, also '30, spent the summer at Leadville, Colorado, where she has been teaching for the last few years.

Ruth Thomp- son ('31) is still in Denver, in the record room of the Colorado General Hospital. Vir- gie Sappenfield Montgomery ('32) and I called on her one evening, but she wasn't home. Frances Raynolds ('31) is working in the Indian Department of the Denver Art Museum. She was forced to give up her trip to Europe this last year.

Ruth Thompson ('31) is living at the Gardinia Apartments at Tenth and Washington, in Denver. Elizabeth Lamont ('32) has a new address in Denver which I recently learned. It is 454 Clayton, Denver. She is doing social service work with the Denver Bureau of Public Welfare. Louise Carter ('33) is also doing the same kind of work. She took a month off to go home to New Jersey to visit her mother. She also visited a few days in Kansas City with Vivian Gingles Stone ('32). Laura Kennish Mall ('31) had a very thrilling time during last spring's flood. She stopped to lock her store door and saw her husband and child almost swept down a torrent of water that had once been a street. M r . Mall and the child escaped, but the car floated on. I be- lieve that it was later recovered, but the building was mined as was the stock of goods in it. Orchard must have been under water for several days. Alberta Nicholson ('31) is now living in Boulder, close to her parents. She had been in Pueblo. Ruth Costcllo ('31) taught last year in Alamosa. She was carry- ing out a government project for under- privileged children. None of the Denver girls have seen her for a long, long time. Her address was 208 Edison, Alamosa. Allean Johnson ('31) is the first of the good debtors this month. She made her payment as soon as the month began. She is at Canyon City. She would like to hear from all you Chi Delta girls. Virgie Sappenfield Montgomery ('32) very kindly entertained me at a lovely dinner one night last summer. We had a grand time "gabbing." Christine Gustafson ('32) enjoyed a trip to New Mexico as soon as school was out and a jaunt to Yellowstone during the summer. She spent several days wit'i Effie L. Gleason Miles, but she and I didn't seem to get together for any great length of time. Vivian Gingles Stone was hostess to many Chi Delta girls at her home at 800 W. 35th, Kansas City. We all had a good time although it was so hot while I was there that I literally "dripped" all the time. "Gingles" is a wonderful hostess. Effie Lu Gleason Miles ('32) spent most of last year traveling about the United States from coast to coast.

A second objective was to make a brief study of the geometry

Marriages
Grace Murray (ex '28) was recently mar- ried to George Boomer and is residing in Rochester, New York.
In August, Orono was the scene of a pret- ty summer wedding when Beulah Osgood ('26) became the bride of William Carl Wells, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Wells of South Hanover, Massachusetts. The mar- riage was performed in the home of the bride's parents, the bride being given in marriage by her father, and attended by her sister, Mrs. Herbert Fifield, Jr., of Orono. Beulah wore a gown of ivory satin, princess style, with train and a bridal veil of tulle. She carried a bridal bouquet of white gladioli. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the Osgood home, attended by about seventy-five relatives and friends. A few of the bride's intimate friends, Madeline Gil- len ('26), Katherine Atkins Wing ('25), Madelene Fogg Brown ('25), and Sally Pal- mer ('27), assisted at the tea table.

By Beatrice Levy Hamilton
4- VACATION DAYS are over but what glor- ious ones many of our alumna? travelers have enjoyed! Helen Bright Beazell ('27) took a Caribbean sea voyage. "Bee" Levy Hamilton ('19) and her parents enjoyed an extensive motor trip which took them to the Pacific coast as far north as Seattle, Wash- ington. Quite unexpectedly they secured last-
minute reservations on the Northland for a ten-day cruise to southeastern Alaska. Among the interesting cities visted were Ketchikan, Wrangle, Petersburg, Juneau and Sitka. Other Iota alumna? who journeyed westward this summer were Grace Dallenbach Fin- frock ('16), Florence Sheehan Fluharty ('09) and Aileen Hunter Spencer ('19). In June, Marie Rutenbur Leslie ('15) and husband, Reverend William Leslie, rector of St. Mark's Church, Brookline, Massachusetts, motored to Urbana for a week's visit with their re- spective parents. Marie is secretary of the class of '15, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary on Alumni Day, during Com- mencement Week. Marie proved herself in- dispensable to her many fellow classmates whom she welcomed in her usual affable and charming manner. Other Urbana visitors this summer were Maybelle Dallenbach Denhart ('17) and her son, Bill, who reside in New York City; Opal Trost Sheppard ('16), who, with her son and youngest daughter, vis- ited her sister, Frances Trost ('15) ; and Ruth Terwilliger Blakey ('21), who visited her parents. Gladys Saffell Barr ('16), with her father and small son, spent the summer at Walloon Lake, Michigan.
It is hard to realize that several of our alumna? have sons and daughters who entered the University of Illinois this fall. Maude Bacon Notle's ('09) son, Richard, and Peggy Gorham Ebert's ('09) son, Edward, are prom- ising members of the freshman class. Peggy and family spent the month of August at Batchawana Bay, Ontario, Canada. Nila E d - mundsen Ervin ('19) and husband, of Hart- ford City, Indiana, brought Nila's step-son Frank, to Urbana to enter the University. Leota Mosier Bigler ('16) has recently moved to Urbana from Chicago so that her daugh- ter, Ruth, might be in the University this year. Leota has accepted a position as sec- retary in the Y. W. C. A. And speaking of of positions, Frances Cottrell is teaching bot- any in Centralia this year. Several of our recent graduates have also obtained positions.

Omicron
By Fay Morgan
-f- A STATISTICALLY-MINDED alumna recently inquired how widely distributed the Omi- cron roster has become since the chapter charter was granted 33 years ago. A hasty check-up reveals that geographically speaking
the majority still claim their native state of Tennessee as headquarters, though careers and matrimony have led a number far afield since they answered to roll call in the fraternity room.
The Johnson City (Tennessee) colony con- sisting of Maxine Christenberry Preas (ex '36), Carolyn Gies Miller ('30), and Josephine Wallace Deaver (ex '28), has been augmented by Winifred Caldwell Blount ('32), who be- gan putting her home economics training into practice for 'Gene on August 5. Maxine and Bill spent six weeks in California the past summer where Bill was taking some special medical work in the hospitals but are back home again. Carolyn and Bill Miller vaca- tioned with home folks in Knoxville in July during which time many reports of Carolyn's newly acquired culinary prowess were spread about. "Joe" and Everette are frequent enough visitors in Knoxville for us to almost claim them as our own.
Swinging across the highway to Newport we find Anna Stokely Burnett ('23) and Tanella Hooper Burton as year round resi- dents. During the summer months three more AOII pins always appear in the vicinity when Mary Stokely Eberts (ex '31), Margaret Smith Estes ('24), and Lillianne Smith Mc- Intyre (ex '30), come back for hometown vacations. Anna reports that housekeeping for Horace, young Jimmy, and small Edith is practically a 24-hour affair for her. Jan Bur- ton is teaching at Newport again this year after a round in the University of Tennessee Summer Session. Mary has returned to In- dianapolis; "Smitty" to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she and Henson have been living for the past few years; and "Lil" is back in Penn's Grove, New Jersey, for the winter. Elizabeth Clinton ('23) came up from Mem- phis f o r her annual visit with Anna and Horace in August but is now on the job as English instructor at South Side High School in Memphis. Incidentally, Anna, Alary and Fanny Stokely (K '39), are sending Edith Stokely, their youngest sister, to Tennessee this fall to carry out the family AOII tradi- tion, which was begun by Anna May Stokely
('06) and has continued unbroken since.
Virginia Hunt Fain ('25), represents us at Jefferson City, Tennessee, where Clark has been practising medicine for the past two years, and Virginia looks after the house and the baby whose first birthday was celebrated this summer.
One of Knoxville's chief claims to fame (as yet unrecognized by the Chamber of Com- merce) is the fact that it is the center for the largest number of Omicroners to be found anywhere in a given location, 60 "alums" of Tennessee being in the immediate vicinity.

Another teacher from the class of '35 is Irene Wilder- muth of Dayton, Ohio, who is teaching busi- ness admimstration in a high school near Lima. Helen Leon ('35) plans to go to New York to do designing. Mary Conover ('34) went to Washington, D. C, a few months ago where she has a civil service position in the accounting department. Ruth Cox Segar ('20) and Julia Fisher ('35) were the repre- sentatives from Omega at convention this summer. A recent visit in Dayton, from Ruth assured us that it was a most successful con- vention. Mildred Engle Mattern ('27) is trav- eling hither and yon with her husband who is with the CCC division of the government. Charlotte Matthews ('33) from Toledo was in Dayton recently as the guest of Mildred Young Gallaher (ex '33). Sally Dunlap ('35) is doing social service work in Hamilton, Ohio. Lucile Dvorak Kirk, her two daugh- ters, Kitty and Mary Daler, and her husband, spent July in the country near Middletown, Conn. They moved August 1 to 32 King Street, New York City. Lucile has added an editorial job to her other activities. Mildred Rothhaar Dennison spent the summer at Pil- grim, Mich., recuperating from an operation. Her husband and three children, John, Ellen and Margaret, joined her in August. Clarissa Scott Aberle and her husband took a 5,000- mile motor trip in the early summer. Clarissa and Marion Arthur MacKenzie are still next- door neighbors in Los Angeles.

She was formerly Campbell County Administrator with the Tennessee Emergency Relief. Fortunately too, Martel,
Tennessee, where the farm of Lucretia Jordan Bickley ('06) is located, permits us an occa- sional glimpse of her at alumna? gatherings.

Felicia Metcalfe (ex '06) is still pursuing her avocation of playwriting as a side-line to her teaching duties in one of the high schools in Birmingham, Alabama, and we are antici- pating another Broadway production from her before long. Both Dorothy Whitaker Allen
('25) and Mary Moore Dominick ('33) came up from Montgomery, Alabama, during the summer for a visit with their respective home- folks. Dot's two boys are getting to be big fellows now but to hear Paul Sr. tell it there is only one boy in the state of Alabama, the young gentleman in question being Paul Dominick Jr. Virginia Everette Alexander ('29) and Byron are living in Anniston, Ala- bama, where Byron is practising medicine. Glenn Thompson Orr (ex '26), finds the land- scape around Decatur, Alabama, where she and Bob are living, quite similar to her former hometown of Helena, Arkansas. We are expecting her up for the Tennessee- Alabama game this fall.
Dorothy Greve Jarnagin ('05), in the capac- ity of alumna adviser will help direct the destiny of our newest chapter. Lambda Sigma, at the University of Georgia this year, her aid having been invaluable in helping the group previous to installation. She was guest of honor at the annual initiation banquet of Omicron last spring and, as the only charter member whom the actives have ever had the privilege of meeting since Omicron came into existence in 1902, proved the heroine of the occasion. Elizabeth Wallace ('29) is our other Georgia inhabitant, her headquarters being at Tifton where she has been teaching in the high school for the past several years.
There was much anxious scanning of news- paper accounts regarding the September storm in Florida as Lynn McNutt Humpidge ('19) lives in Fort Myers, and Ola Hancock Brooks is a resident of Jacksonville and we were happy to learn that both households escaped the hurricane's fury.
In addition to being the only member of the medical profession within our ranks, Lois Kennedy ('34) is also the northernmost mem- ber on the map due to her residence in Winnipeg, Canada. "Doc" is completing her fourth year of medical study at the Univer- sity of Manitoba at Winnipeg this year and during the summer served as one of the junior internes at Grace Hospital there, this post coming her way because of her fine record as a student during previous years.
Engagements
Announcement has been made of the en- gagement of Lucy E. Cooper ('30), former State Chairman of Alumnae for Tennessee, and Joseph Edwards of Mullins, South Caro- lina. The wedding will take place this fall after which Lucy will make her home in Mullins, much to the regret of all Tennessee alumnae.
Marriages
Following her graduation last June, an- nouncement was made of the marriage of

Kathryn (Tiny) Crow of Asheville, North Carolina, to Albin Knight, also of Asheville, which occurred on June 1, 1934, at Greenville, South Carolina. "Tiny" and Albin are mak- ing their home at 133 Woodland Road, Ashe- ville.
Virginia Everett ('29) and Dr. Byron Alex- ander were married in Jackson, Tennessee, Virginia's home, on February l9. They are living in Anniston, Alabama. He is a grad- uate of Tennessee and several years ago served as assistant to Dr. Wilhelm at the University of Tennessee Infirmary.
The wedding of Isabel (Tetie) Baptist ('32) and Charles Edwin Kennedy of Mem- phis took place in the Presbyterian Church of Covington, Tennessee, on July 18. Martha Baptist was an attendant. Following a wed- ding trip to White Sulphur Springs, Virginia,
they are at home in Memphis.
Minerva Tuttle ('29) and William Hairston
of Columbus, Mississippi, were married on July 18, at the home of "Tillie's" sister in Columbus. They are making their home in Columbus where Mr. Hairston is connected with the State Highway Department. "Tillie" received her master's degree from the School of Home Economics at Knoxville in June.
The marriage of Winifred Caldwell ('32) and Alton Eugene Blount of Johnson City, Tennessee, was solemnized on September 5, at the home of Winifred's aunt, Mrs. Davis Thornton, in Atlanta, Georgia. Following a bridal trip they are now at home in Johnson City where "Gene" is located in business.
Births
Burton Frierson I I I was an April 3 arrival at the home of Rowena Kruesi Frierson ('33) and Burton Frierson Jr., in Chattanooga, T ennessee.
Beverly Baumann Kohlhase (ex '32) and Charley have a son, Charles Jr., who was born in August at their home in Knoxville.
Frances Dunn Robison ('32) has a son, R.M.RobisonIII,bornonApril5.
Deaths
The sympathy of the chapter is extended to Blossom Swift Edmunds ('11) and Jess Edmunds Cromer (ex '09), in the death of their husband and brother, Clarence H. Ed- munds of Knoxville. We also extend sym- pathy to Ailsie Kyle Peet (ex '11), in the death of her brother, Charles Kyle of Knox- ville, and to Janella Hooper Burton in the death of her brother, Randolph Hooper of Newport.

Later in the season Mary Roach ('30) and Harriett Arnold Rohrback ('32) are planning a New York trip. After summer school, Betty Heminger McCay ('30), Edward, and Edward Jr., visited in Algonac. Adele Ewing ('33) and her mother spent a week at the Ocean, and on the return trip visited Arlene Ewing Elliott ('26) in her new home at Easton. Adele says that Adrianne "keeps everybody on the run."

Did you hear that Marie Wagner (ex '32) and Ernes- tine Wagner ('31) took a cruise through southern waters? Ann Arbor is lucky to have Margaret Gilbert Wuerfeul ('32) back in town where her husband will be taking ad- vance study. Everyone is happy that it seems quite settled that Blossom Bacon Dick ('31) and Vernon are to be located in Ann Arbor for the next few years. Florence Brady Atherton ('33) has been traveling with her husband all summer. Letters from Mary Louise Behymer ('31) bear the good news that she is employed and enjoying Seattle. The latest reports are that Catherine Clifford ('31) has returned to the mainland from Guam. Marjorie Weber Bleakley ('27) and Don were on a Canadian vacation.

Karl has returned to take charge of the Kellar Florist Company. In addition to Charles there is now Clark Windsor Kellar who arrived April 18. Esther Bradley Ham ('28) writes that they are now living in a century old house near Belleville. She was getting the children ready for a wedding in which Dorothy was to be ring bearer and Esther Ruth, flower girl. Dorothy Nix Hauf ('27) enjoyed a'varied vacation. She and "Haufee" left Carolyn in Utica and went up to Blue Mountain. They became en- thusiastic about sailing and bought a boat. So between driving in a new car and sailing in a new boat there wasn't a dull moment. Dorothy saw Sue Storke Scott ('28) and her family. They were in New Hampshire on a trip and then planned a month at camp. To quote Dot—"Sue has three of the nicest chil- dren I ever saw." Dorothy Wylie Martin ('24) and her husband are located in Ithaca now.
Ann Arbor seems to hold an attraction for the new alumna;, as Virginia Matthews ('35) has been working in the hospital there. Alber- tina Maslin Mabley ('31) having enjoyed a late spring honeymoon in Kentucky let that suffice for a vacation. She became M rs. T . Hollister Mabley on April 27.

-4- MUCH has happened since our last letter in To DRAGMA. First and perhaps best as regards Alpha O comes Convention. The Phi sisters who were unable to come need not wonder if Phi Chapter was well represented at Lake Forest. In fact, as I look back on it, we were part and parcel of the entertain- ment committee. As Pinckney Glantzberg might well have said, "Phi came, Phi saw and Phi helped to entertain." Our own and be- loved Mary Rose Barrens V on Furstenau ('25) gave a lovely concert assisted by Helen Hawk Carlisle (P) at the Panhellenic Tea. Needless to say, all Phi girls were certainly proud to sav they were from Mary Rose's chapter. Ruth Pyle ('35) danced, and a little
bit of Ruth's pep and personality seemed to invade Convention. Hazelle Hedges ('32), Lucille Clippinger ('29), Margaret Schwartz ('36), our new and capable active chapter president, and Berneice Petersen ('28), all enjoyed convention and meeting Alpha O's from Canada to California. Convention is a big inspiration and lots of fun, too! Don't miss another.
Summer passed all too quickly for all of us and vacations were all too short. Anita Munford ('33), Edith Adams McFerren
