pledges. They more than realized our expectations, and planned a

lovely dance.

This f a l l a number of our alumnae gave us a silver scholarship

cup, on which each year is to be engraved the name of the Freshman

girl who makes the highest grades. The name of Velda Bames-

berger, '18, was the first to be engraved on the cup. We appreciate

this g i f t both because we appreciate being remembered in this way,

and because we realize that it will stimulate us all for better scholar-

ship.

At both Home-coming and Teachers' Conference we were glad to

welcome a large number of our alumnae. I t seemed good to see them

again.

Later this f a l l we pledged two new girls, Marian Gregg, '17, and

Marie Stejskal, '19. We are very proud of our pledges, Isabel Mc-

Kinnell, '16, was initiated on December 13th. .

The Christmas season brought us many new duties. The first

special thing we did was to dress dolls which were to be sent to Chi-

cago for the Y. W. C. A. So each girl in this way helped to make

Christmas a little pleasanter for some one else.

On December 20th our pledges gave us a Christmas party. We were

all invited to come dressed as little girls, and there we saw the real

Christmas tree lighted with candles. Then each girl received her

present in a stocking, with a very appropriate verse about the girl

or the gift, or both. We all enjoyed our Christmas party. After-

ward the tree was given to a poor family to be used at their Christ-

mas time.

We have also received some lovely Christmas gifts from several

of our alumnae, and from our chaperone Mrs. Stowers. We truly ap-

preciate these gifts, for we know the spirit in which they are given.

Here are best wishes for a joyful and prosperous New Year to all

our Alpha O sisters.

Yours in A O I I ,
