But it is Lee whom Southerners love

immortality under southern colors, and
others have suffered even as Lee suf-

prospered f o r four years but the flood
of 1935 that devastated central New

nihilated my labor, gouging gullies and
piling debris, and when the torrent
struck the adjacent glen where we had
a wild duck pond and wintering house,
it turned the duck pond 12 feet deep,
into a mammoth rock mound; it col-
lapsed the 30 foot building, burst the
dam and flung the bridge far out into
space. The next morning there it hung
anchored by two iron girders to a piece
of the dam while the other end reached
toward the top of a prize hemlock tree
which somehow had been spared.

This catastrophe has been too great

a neglected bank of erosion but a merci-

O N February 1 8 , at the Army-Navy
Country Club, just outside Washing-
ton, could be seen a 1 0 0 or more white ties,
tails, and multi-colored gowns dancing in a
softly lighted ballroom, the strains of one
of Washington's most popular orchestras keep-
ing feet and hearts light, and couples stroll-
ing arm-in-arm through a huge lounge lined
with potted palms. I t was the scene of our
most outstanding social event of the year, our
spring formal dance, the first one ever to be
held in a big country club. W e had access
to the entire club for the evening, and the
faces of AOII members, fascinated pledges,
and beaming alumnae everywhere made the
place even more lovely. It was undoubtedly
the very best dance the active members of
Pi Delta have ever witnessed. T h e week
before, on February 11, many of our actives
and pledges took prominent parts in the Uni-
versity of Maryland's annual "All-University
Night." The event opened with a dozen or
more girls in black or white evening gowns
carrying huge national, state, and city flags;
most of them were our own AO lis. Martha
Jane Legge '40 led the procession carrying
the United States Flag; Ruth Reville ' 3 8 car-
ried one of the Maryland state flags; Elaine
McClayton ' 3 9 represented the city of Balti-
more with its flag; and Eloise Webb, pledge
'41, carried a Baltimore county flag. A mili-
tary dance was held by Edith R a y Sparling
'39, new chapter president. Doris Harlan
' 3 8 was one of the sopranos in the Women's
Glee Club, which rendered several Brahms'
selections at the affair. T h e feature of the
evening was a solo acrobatic dance by Betty
Raymond ' 4 1 , who displayed her talents in the
blue spotlight which was the only illumination,
to the strains of the " B l u e Danube Waltz."
Many of our pledges participated in a "Dis-
play of Sports" which ended the events. The
annual Kappa Alpha "Cotton Pickers Mins-
trel," which was held at the college audi-
torium a few weeks ago, gave more of our
girls a chance to display singing and dancing
ability. Each year Kappa Alpha, choosing their
talent for the show solely from the Maryland
campus, picks a chorus of 12 popular and
skilled coeds from the sororities. Six of
the 12 chosen were from AOII: Frances Dicus,
pledge ' 4 1 , who also sang two solo numbers
in an unusual contralto style; Betty Raymond
'41, who also did a specialty rhythm tap
dance; Grace Robinson ' 3 8 ; Fredericka Wald-
man ' 3 9 ; Dorothy Rice ' 4 0 ; and Betty Nich-
