MIAMI V A L L E Y ALUMNAE

Initiation brought twenty-two "old" girls back to O x f o r d on St. V a l -
entine's D a y . I n l o o k i n g back, i t seems impossible that so many f u l l -
fledged events could be crowded into so little time. W h a t w i t h an a l -
umnae luncheon, Omega's initiation, Miami Valley's initiation and meet-
ing, Omega's banquet and all incidental chattering, gossiping and remin-
iscing, we utilized every minute.

Our meeting took place in Mother Clark's familiar living room, with
Scotty acting as hostess. N o t h i n g stupendous was transacted; in fact,
we greatly fear reuning superseded all else. However, it was w i t h
great joy that two new members were welcomed into our small group.

A p r i l brings our H a m i l t o n meeting—and then comes the Reunion Tea
in O x f o r d at Commencement, which'the Alumnae sponsor. W e are using
this as our advance notice to y o u . Be sure to see us in O x f o r d in June.

MILDRED ROTHHAAR DENNISON.

BOZEMAN ALUMNAE

T h e active chapter always has initiation on the week-end nearest our.
birthday, February t w e n t y - t h i r d , so as many alumnae as possible can
come back. This year we were particularly fortunate in having about
twenty alumnae and ex-students here. The Bozeman alumnae chapter
entertained all of the visiting sisters at a luncheon at Mrs. Dean House-
man's. W e were delighted to see the g i r l s and w e hope t o encourage
more of the sisters to come back next year.

W e have not been able to have our meetings r e g u l a r l y because so
many o f the girls have been out o f town. D o r i s I n g r a m , our president,
has been away since February but we expect her back this week and
then we hope to meet oftener.

Money-strange how elusive, how important it is. Money is the a l l -
absorbing topic o f conversation at our meetings. A t least it seems to be
the starting and stopping point. We're going to raise money, but just
how is what causes the conversation. I f we keep on as we've started, we'll
soon have to worry about an income t a x !

B u t money isn't quite everything—it's merely the means to accom-
plish our aims.

A t our February and M a r c h meetings we discussed things, such as
convention. W e did more than that! W e grew enthusiastic, eager, and
planned! So i f y o u see the M i l w a u k e e alumnae there en masse, don't be
alarmed.

Our A p r i l meeting took the f o r m of a farewell dinner to our presi-
dent, M r s . Dorner, at the College Women's Club. She is leaving f o r
quite a stay in California—here's hoping she has a j o l l y time, and gets
back in time for convention!

Margaret Babcock Paulus ( M r s . Raymond) Iota, was a guest. We
hope she w i l l be w i t h us o f t e n .

O u r ranks have swelled. Olive Bubatz ( M r s . W i l l i a m ) is our newest
member. Oh, we're growing! Watch us!

BIRMINGHAM ALUMNAE

W e have been concentrating all our thoughts, time and e f f o r t on the
local, T a u Delta, w h i c h is petitioning us. W e were so delighted over the
lovely w a y they presented their petition. I t makes us feel proud to be the
sponsors of such a group of girls. Since our last letter we have helped
them entertain t w o active chapter inspectors, one f r o m N u O m i c r o n and the
other f r o m P i . T h e reports f r o m these g i r l s were so favorable that we
j u s t wish every chapter could have a peep at this w o n d e r f u l group and
decide immediately to make them members o f Alpha Omicron Pi.

W e were sorry to lose Helen W e h r l i Wallace f r o m o u r chapter.
She and her husband have gone to live in Kansas City. Helen was our
splendid treasurer, so that is j u s t a hint to the Kansas C i t y alumnae that
she is a good worker.

Everyone is looking forward to convention at Christmas Lake, I
know. W e remember the lovely time our neighbors and sisters at Knox-
ville gave us. O n to convention again! I t is a w o n d e r f u l opportunity
to know our western sisters better.

A Toast to A O n

Given at the Installation Banquet of Pi Delta Chapter, Grace Dodge
Hotel, Washington, D. C, October 25, igs4.

L o n g years ago Balboa side

Climbed a jungled mountain
A n d discovered a new ocean

Immeasurably wide.

I wonder what his feelings were

A s he gazed f r o m o l d to new?
Yet I think that tonight, sisters,

W e can understand them too.

For we stand upon a plateau land
W h e r e before our eyes at last

The broad realm of our sisterhood

Lies beautiful, and vast.

There are rubies in its sunshine,

I t s coasts are set w i t h pearls,
A n d its white waves are the hand clasps

O f the nation's finest girls.

For it is the land o f A O I I ,
Vista of our delight.

Oh Alpha Omicron Pi, to you—
A toast to you tonight!

F i r s t I am g o i n g to tell y o u about Elizabeth B o y e r . She is, as y o u
know, president of the New York Alumnae. A m o n g the many things
she has been doing f o r us are the f o l l o w i n g : She was hostess and a very
charming one at Benefit Card P a r t y o f AOn, given at the A s t o r Gallery
at the W a l d o r f Astoria. I t was a splendid success. Elizabeth presided
with M r s . Perry at the joint Founders Day Dinner of N u and New Y o r k
Alumnae. T h e n she acted as hostess f o r A O n at the R u t h D r a p e r
entertainment and Tea of the Panhellenic at the Roosevelt Hotel. A n d
she has been active as can be on behalf of the Panhellenic House. Y o u
know. She just oozes loyalty, energy, perseverance and charm.

One of our illustrious members, Bertha Rembaugh, modestly disclaims
she has a n y t h i n g o f interest to tell us. Yet pages could be w r i t t e n to tell
y o u about her, as she, so the r u m o r persistently goes, is one o f our most
successful New York lawyers.

I am sure you w i l l be interested to hear o f Elsie Maccracken. She
has been and is, d o i n g such active things. I n connection w i t h her w o r k
w i t h the N e w Jersey League o f W o m e n Voters, she has been State Chair-
man o f the committee on the legal status o f w o m e n ; and has now been
appointed to d r a f t a new constitution and set of by-laws f o r the League.
She has established a splendid practice as counselor at law i n Jersey City.
T h o u g h her practice is mostly probate, she had a Chinese divorce case
recently by way of variety.

D a i s y Gaus, has been very successful in her practice. She has spe-
cialized i n probate w o r k , t h o u g h at times interesting cases in other fields
claim her interest and professional services. She is such a dear, and
so e f f i c i e n t and dependable, whether i t be f r a t e r n a l w o r k , professional,
or charitable. Her charities are extensive.

V i r g i n i a Mullenhauer has an o f f i c e in the B r o n x where she has estab-
lished a nice practice.

M a r y Figuiera, is assistant corporation counsel for Kings County,
a credit indeed to her. I t is only a short t i m e since she attained her
degree, 1922.

Jean Fitzimons is making good w i t h one o f the T r u s t companies.

O u r beloved Sally Burger, is getting her master's degree in June and
plans to do educational w o r k in the south in the f a l l . Our best wishes
attend her. W e w i l l miss her dreadfully when she leaves. She is so clever
and dear.

Peg Proche is teaching in Jersey City H i g h . B u t guess? She teaches
in N e w Y o r k U n i v e r s i t y too. I n that as e v e r y t h i n g else, she j u s t bubbles
with enthusiasm. It's infectious, too.

Evelyn Hellan also teaches at the University. W e are p r o u d of them.
M r s . Frederick S w i f t is the president of the M y a c k Club. They have
held two flower shows this year; and one of the interesting things they
are doing, which I believe originated w i t h M r s . S w i f t , is the engaging
of interest of the children by g i v i n g awards f o r the best f l o w e r garden
and the best vegetable garden.

Where have you been? Where are you? Where are you going?
Elizabeth U n d e r b i l l can answer these questions fascinatingly. She has
been in Egypt, in J e r u s a l e m ; and shall be in I t a l y , presently.

Esther Fowler Schmaltz, who is living in Dayton now, was to attend
the annual meeting of the American Association of University Women at
Indianapolis beginning April 8, but sickness prevented her. She was to
represent Tufts Alumnae as well as the College. We trust she has re-
covered by now.

About ten alumnae attended Delta's initiation and banquet at the
Parker House on February 16. The girls are so sweet and attractive and
the whole a f f a i r went o f f splendidly. Louise Eames Burrage, a very dear
friend of several of the active girls spoke f o r the alumnae.

"Margo" Durkec Angell, who has been away with Billy for several
weeks while her brother enjoyed a siege of scarlet fever, is back again
and able to get out to college affairs.

Abigail Waldron Nickerson '05 has had a lot of sickness during the

is now on the road to recovery.

Dorothy Rourke '22 is doing graduate work at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.

Eva Fulton Mellish, ex-'lO, is living in Maiden again after several
years spent in Washington, D. C. and Pennsylvania. Her daughter is
thirteen and quite a young lady.

We were sorry to learn that Gladys Keith Shute '15 had been i l l with
rheumatic fever but has recovered now. Her three youngsters keep her
from attending many meetings.

Delta is well represented on the Board of the Tufts Alumnae Associa-
tion ; Octavia Chapin is president, Louisa Atwood, secretary, Alice Spear,
clerk, and Grace Wheeler Woodbury, one of the directors.

The other day we met Miss Barbara Blaisdell the attractive little
daughter of Ruth Wedge Blaisdell, ex-'14. As Ruth's daughter would
naturally be, she has blue eyes and rosy cheeks. Ruth is busy in the Com-
munity work where she lives and was that day in a play.

Ruth Burbank Pennell is another busy person. Besides teaching in the
Lynn English High School, she is director of the Girls' Club in the

DEATHS

I t is with deep sorrow that we must write of the death on April 6th of
Louise Eames Burrage, who passed away suddenly after a very brief
illness. Those who knew her remember her as f u l l of life and activities, a
charming personality. Only recently she had renewed her interest in
fraternity affairs and had planned to entertain our chapter at our April
meeting. Besides her husband she leaves two daughters and a young son.
She was a member of the Girl Scout state council and had a troop in
Reading, where she lived. She was a past president of the Reading
College Club and was active in the teachers' and Women's Clubs and the
Congregational Church of that town. For the past two years she had been
teaching English in the Junior High School. I n the summer Louise Bur-

Elizabeth Neely '19, has been acting Dean of Women at Cornell f o r
several months, during Dean White's leave of absence.
Gertrude Lynahan '22, came up from Springfield, Massachusetts, to
give a talk on various phases of newspaper work at the Editors' confer-
ence conducted by Professor Bristow Adams during Farmers' Week.
Gertrude spent a happy week-end in Ithaca, visiting at the house, looking
over the freshmen and renewing old friendships. Her only regret was
that she could not stay for initiation the following week. She is planning
to spend the summer in Europe, sailing from New York about July first.
Ruth Oviatt '24, has turned to newspaper work. She has left the
Curtis Publishing Company and is now on the staff of the Philadelphia
Daily Ledger.
Illness compelled Betty Pratt '22, to give up her work in New York.
Rest at home has worked a complete recovery however and in February
she left Wellesley Hills for Detroit where she is working with the Jessie
Bonstelle Stock Company.
The girls who have visited the Trebings or who have met Dorothea
Trebing's charming sister, Gertrude, when she has been in Ithaca, will
be interested to learn that Gertrude, now Mrs. Lionel Jackson, is the
proud mother of twin daughters in New York, on March tenth. They
are called Gertrude and Dorothea Jackson. Aunt Dorothea admits that
they are already pledged to Alpha O and that they will probably be
freshmen when she comes back f o r her twenty year reunion in 1943.
Elsie Smith '24, is with the Purchasing department of the Y. M .
C. A . in New York. She is commuting from Rutherford, N . J., and
has been devoting her talent and out-of-the-office time to plays pro-
duced by a little theatre organization there.
Anna Allen Wright '09, and Dr. Wright are traveling during the
period of Dr. Wright's Sabbatical leave from the university.
Marian Darville '12, spent a few days in Ithaca in February as Elsa
Allen's guest. She was fortunate enough to be present at initiation. Mar-
ian has been doing research work for the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company in connection with the transmission of photographs by wire
and wireless which has recently been the subject of considerable discus-
sion in the newspapers.
Mary Moore Shacklcton '20, and her husband, recently bought a new
home in Glen Ridge, N . J., and moved into it in April. Mary Esther,
a year and a half old, had a severe illness during the winter, but is entirely
recovered.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hughes (Helen Langdon '19) are also in a
lovely new home which Helen's father has built for them in Genesee
Street, Utica.
I t is needless to say the alumnae are delighted that the chapter has
won the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup.
Reunion classes in June include 1909. 1910, 1911, 1912, 1915, 1920 and
1923. and it is hoped that Epsilon will be well represented among the
alumnae present in Ithaca for the reunion festivities.

The following notice appeared in a local paper of Rockville Center,
Long Island:

Mrs. Helen C. Balcom of 323 Rockaway avenue has announced the
engagement of her daughter Ruth to L. Wallace Burdick of Milton, Wis-
consin.

Miss Balcom is a graduate of Cornell University 1921 with the degree
of A. B . and was a member of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority.

Mr. Burdick is counsel to the Burdick Cabinet Company of Milton,

from Cornell in 1923. He is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and
of the Delta Theta Phi Law fraternity. The date of the wedding is not
yet announced, but will probably he in the late spring.

Not a card came in with news items about any of our girls, so I
am hoping that my successor will be more clevor than I was and send
out the cards herself! This will surely bring a response and lead us
all into the realm of interesting facts concerning each other.

Another addition to the Twin City Alumnae is Atha Wood Fowler,
who has moved to Champaign.
Ruth Percival Newton, who so kindly furnished me with the above
news, as well as a good part of what follows, said, "Yon can imagine how
happy the Aliens are to have these girls." Indeed we tan imagine it
Ruth! For a large part of the alumnae help for Iota chapter comes from
that group of girls in L'rbana-Champaign. I t is you who hold food sales,
rummage sales, bazaars, '"play" (only there is not much fun connected
with i t ! ) waitresses and do everything else conceivable to bring Iota's
dream of a new house nearer realization. And three such girls as F's,
Mary and Atha added to your group will help mightily.
While we are talking al>out the Twin City alumnae, tluy had an elec-
tion of officers the other night and put the new girls to work at once.
Quite right. Mary Scholl was elected president. Ruth Newton, vice presi-
dent, and Atha Fowler, secretary-treasurer.
Little Colleen Kirk has had the measles so Anna has been more than
busy.
Not to be outdone by Colleen, little Robert Newton has been hav-

A letter from Helen Hood gave us some interesting news about this
year's seniors. The chapter will lose but four girls through graduation. Mary
Lesley Robinson, Dorothy Hull, Dorothy Dickinson, and Helen. Gertrude
Moore is a senior, the second semester, but will return the last semester
of next year to finish, so the chapter won't have to relinquish her quite yet.
Dorothy Dickinson expects to go into advertising work as soon as she
graduates. She will probably be located in Chicago.
Mary Lesley is planning on going to Marian Abel's summer camp, and
hopes to have Florence McKinley. Cora Jane and Alma Stroheker with her.
M.i'y Lesley intends to teach in a private school next year.
Dorothy Hull's wedding to Chris Bergman will take place in the sum-

I'm'just dying to know who else is going to convention. I do hope
Iota has a goodly number. I'd love to go, but Minneapolis is pretty far
from Houston, Texas. A l l of you who were just on the verge of writing
me—don't crowd please—please notice new address, 1420 Seel Ross is the

Spike Rcinertsen. Wilma Arnold, and Margaret Wilson recently spent
their Faster vacations in Minneapolis. Spike and Wilma spent the week
at the chapter house.
Other lucky school teachers who spent the week in the Twin Cities
were Maytne Bender, Marian Conlin. Mariam Barclay, Min Hanson, Heleiie
Oliver, and Helen Gates.
Heleue Oliver has succumbed to the prevailing mode and bobbed her
hair. Needless to say, it is very becoming.
Cecile Moriarity had a sick spell this spring, appendicitis. We arc
happy to say that she is quite recovered and back brandishing the stethe-

Dorothy Remington, who graduated at the end of last quarter, has
returned to Minneapolis and is doing social work in the General Hospital.
We are glad to have Dorothy a "town alum."

Kathryn Clarke graduated at the end of the winter quarter, too, but

ALPHA PHI
The big event for "alums" for the year is over, having occurred Febru-
ary 27 and 28, in the form of the annual birthday celebration with
initiation and banquet as the important features. Marlyn Judd Hauseman,
ex-'22; Doris Ingram, '19, and Dorothy Noble Scott. '22, entertained all of
the alums at a lovely luncheon on Saturday noon. Seated at the table with
the hostesses were: Myrtle Kuhns, '18: Azalia Linfield. '19; Helen Tripp
Davis. '21; "Sweetie" Young Ecton, '22; Viki Forrest, '22; Marie Moebus,
'23; Chloe Cox. '23; Gladys Chrestensen Krueger, ex-'24; Ethel Keyes
Sales, ex-'24; "Billy" Leach Knight, ex-'24: Mary Maxey Kirk. Alice
Stranahan, Peg Conkling, Helen Waite, Peg Chrystal, and Mary Baldwin,
all of '24. Although the conversation seemed to be divided between the
subjects of school teaching, babies and keeping house, it was hard to realize
that we had graduated and that it wasn't just a regular good old "active"
luncheon.
The initiation services and banquet were truly wonderful; we were
only sorry that all of the alums weren't enjoying the day with us. A t the

260 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

close of the banquet, when our sweet tooth was beginning to feel neg-
lected, Irene Abrahamson presented, through " B i l l " Hart, her five pounds.
"Abe" is engaged to a Wyoming man, and we were sorry that she couldn't
receive in person all of the congratulations and good wishes that were

Elizabeth Crossan gave a Bluebird Luncheon on March 7 to announce
the engagement of Natalie Collins to Mr. J. Frederick Haines of Philadel-
phia. Mr. Haines graduated from the Engineering School of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania the same year Natalie received her degree, Class of

Bridge for Natalie and Mr. Haines. There were a number of Psi girls
present at both affairs.

Sylvia Sutcliffe will be married on April 25 to Dr. Aldrich Crowe.

home in Mount Vernon, N . Y. We will hate to lose Gladys and Sylvia,

both in the same year. MARY WARE FAHNESTOCK.

OMEGA

Initiation on February 14 brought many alumnae back to Old Miami.
We know that all of you were wishing that you might be there, too. Twenty-
one AOn's, from the Class of 1913 on, came joyfully into Oxford by bus,
by train, by automobile. The lucky ones were: Helen Crookston, Helen
Scott, Clarissa Scott, Lucille Trowbridge Madison, Bernice Shuey, Harriet
Raines, Juanita Willis Smith. Marian Rothhaar, Francis Ivins, Helen
McLennan, Emily Nash Ziegler, Pearl Ayres, Mary Heck, Ruth Swearingen
Finkbone, Lillian Daugherty Moore, Martha Anderson McCullough, Ger-
trude Weir, Katherine Rice, Betty Murray, Martha Jacques, and Leafy
Corrington Hilker. Martha Jacques had planned a luncheon for the
alumnae on Saturday at The Golden Butterfly Tea Room to which, I am
sure, we all did f u l l justice. We had the room all to ourselves and could
"jabber" to our hearts' content. A meeting of the Miami Valley Alumnae
chapter afterward, then initiation, and finally the annual banquet, which
seemed more beautiful than ever before, brought the happy day to a close.
We missed Milly Rothhaar Dennison at all of the festivities, but she had
a steady stream of callers both Saturday and Sunday, all anxious to make
the acquaintance of Johnny Boy. He has many admirers for one small lad.

Mary Hartman Millet is living in Chicago at 5631 Dorchester Ave.

TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Alice Woolery is teaching in Painesdale, Michigan, which is in the
copper country near Calumet, quite far north.

Ruth Smith Underwood was discovered to have been living in Hamil-
ton, Ohio, since last September. Her address is 1201 Chestnut St. She has
two dear little sons now.

Emily Nash Ziegler gave the Hamilton AOn's a delightful surprise
by making that long-promised visit to them the week of initiation. She
divided her time between the homes of Ruth Smith Underwood and Leafy
Jane Hilker. "Billy" Moore had a little party for Emily one evening,
composed of just Alpha O's—seven of us!—where we talked and talked,
and had delicious eats. And Leafy Jane had a little bridge party in her
honor one evening. Then on Saturday we all journeyed to Oxford for
initiation.

MoVee Lindsey spent a week in February in New York City, purchas-
ing books for Rike-Kumler's. I n May she will attend the annual Book
Convention in Chicago.

Ada Wilson has planned a summer vacation that makes one doomed
to stay at home quite envious. She expects to attend the convention of
the American Library Association in Seattle. Washington, the first week in
July. Then she will wander down the coast to Oakland. California, where
she will linger for a visit with Frances Long Edwards, before going on to
Los Angeles to visit relatives. She will return to Hamilton by the first of
September.

OMICRON PI

This is just about the time of the year when news becomes most scarce.
It is too late for news of what people are doing this year and too early for
definite plans for next year. We do know that a few of the Class of 1924
who were teaching this year have just about decided that they would rather
do something else next year, but just what we do not know.

About the most important event of the near future, for the alumnae, is
the 1923 class reunion at Michigan in June. Many of the girls are planning
on coming to it.

ENGAGEMENTS

Helen L . Howard. '24, announced her engagement to Ira P. Newby,
'24E, at a party given in Detroit.

We heard that Mary L. Howlett. '23. announced her engagement to
Milton Barrett. '23 (Hermitage). We are not quite certain whether this
was the formal announcement or not. but we know we are not betraying
any secret by telling it here—not even surprising anyone!

MARRIAGES

The "month of brides and roses" is to be the time for the weddings of
two of our members. We do not know the exact dates as yet.

Katherine Swayze '23. to Charles Monroe. 2 A E , '24. The wedding
will probably take place in Kalamazoo.

Lorain Price, '24. to Harold Howe, I1KA. '23E. in Niagara Falls.

Organized Responsibility 3

L . G. Balfour Co.

Sole Official Jeweler to Alpha Omicron Pi

under signed contract guarantees:

HIGHEST PRICES—
Prices based on the quality of the articles sold and
proved on comparison by prominent fraternity
officials to be fair.

GENUINE QUALITY—
Badges made to approved official specifications and
of the finest material and workmanship. Novelties
of the material and quality as advertised.

SATISFACTORY SERVICE—
Official badge orders shipped within five days of
receipt of approved order. AH articles except those
specially made to be shipped in ten days or two
weeks.

ABSOLUTE PROTECTION—
The insignia of your Fraternity not to be distributed
indiscriminately, but only to accredited members.

PAYMENT OF ROYALTY—
A stated commission paid to the Fraternity on orders
placed with the Official Jeweler. This royalty is not
added to the selling price of the article but represents
the regular selling expense and cost of operation of
many small factories. It is made possible under the
official jeweler system by increased volume of busi-
ness and concentrated buying and selling power.

Analysis of the Balfour Contract System by Fraternity
officials has proved it to be worthy of their confidence
and approval.

When you purchase from the Official Jeweler you en-
dorse the judgment of your own officials and also render
financial support to your Fraternity without a direct tax
by money which would otherwise be dissipated among
unauthorized jewelers.
