We have just finished a very busy but very successful rushing
season, and are now grasping the cold hard facts as our noted pro-
fessors are wont to extend them to us. The rushing this year was
carried on in a very simple and economical manner, as we were
ribbons were just loops pinned under the coat collar. These were
the rulings of the Panhellenic Association and, of course, we carried
them out to the last letter.
The girls all agreed to the fact that quality stood first with us, and
so although we took only seven pledges, each one of them is a wonder-
f u l girl, and they are going to boost A O IT as never before. The
names of the girls pledged are Ruth Hendrickson, Miette Brunot,
Helen Quayle, Velma Stone, Carol Issacs, Hildegarde Reimer, and
Helen Brooks. The girls already have shown interest in athletics,
Y. W. C. A., and editorial work and we are sure they are going to
enjoy their year's work.
Quite a number of our girls were unable to return this year for
which, we are so sorry. Some of them came back for rushing and
will visit us occasionally through the year. Most of our senior girls
of last year are busy wielding the birch rod, and what fun it would
be to drop in on one of them unexpectedly and find her reprimanding
some poor youngster who had gotten most awfully hungry and had
eaten an apple. Kata Blum is with us this year taking postgraduate
work and how good it seems to have her here.
We aren't allowed houses at Northwestern, but we still insist upon
being together as much as possible, and so eight of us managed to
get rooms close together on third floor in Willard Hall. I t makes
it so handy for "cozy," as we have the use of three or four rooms right
together and then you see the head resident lives on first floor and
so we can make a great deal of noise and still not be detected.
We are quite interested in class offices at present as we are run-
ning our president, Kathryn Brown, as secretary of the senior class,
Marguerite Kolb as chairman of the social committee in the sopho-
more class, and Phoebe Wilson as secretary of the sophomore class.
We are sure these girls are going to win out, and all of us are work-
ing hard to bring it about.
We gave our pledge luncheon at the Narcissus Room in Field's
last Saturday, and it was a pronounced success. About thirty-five
attended including eight or nine alumna;. Everything tasted so
good, and we were put in a happy frame of mind to attend the foot-
ball game in the afternoon between Lake Forest and Northwestern
in which we won 48-0.
