156 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

We hate to think of "after Christmas." The two weeks of home
and vacation will soon be over, and then come two weeks of solid
work, followed by examinations. Kappa sends love to all Alpha O's
and for those who have mid-year examinations, she adds a hearty
"Good luck to you."

Best wishes for a glorious 1916—and don't let us forget that it's
leap year!

What a great many things have happened since last you heard

from us! We have had mid-semester examinations, and Thanks-

giving appropriately following them. Then there was the one short

month until Christmas vacation, brimful of work and good times.

While our work is more important the frolics are more interesting

to hear about. The night of the Cornhusker Banquet, the Girls'

Club had a costume party at Memorial Hall. The costumes were of

all sorts and descriptions, from "The Gold Dust Twins" to dignified

Mr. and Mrs. Washington. Several groups gave stunts later in the

evening. The Kappa's had a convicts' chain dance, the Pi Phi's gave

a mock wedding, the Delta Gamma's presented a typical "movie"

audience, and several other equally interesting performances by

other groups were given. Our girls dressed as country boys and girls,

and our stunt was a square dance. Our audience seemed to enjoy

it quite as much as we did.

Monday night before Christmas vacation we had our annual
Christmas party at the house. The alumna? brought the best things
to eat, and the Freshmen contributed a side-splitting stunt as their
share in the party. Santa Claus—who had, by the way, very small
hands and a lady-like voice—distributed the gorgeous ten cent gifts
from the tree. Of course we each came in for our share of good-
natured teasing, but what would the Christmas party be without it?

We took the dolls, the engagement rings, and the funny pop-eyed
cotton dogs to the Orthopedic Hospital with us Thursday night,
when we gave Mrs. Gaynor's "The House That Jack Built" Mother
