TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 143

Kappa Phi (our equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa), and Tau Beta Pi, the

honorary engineering fraternity.

One of our girls was in the University play, one has the secretaryship of

the Girls' Debating Society, and in class elections Nadine Gellerson was

elected to Cane Committee and Molly Perkins was re-elected as class

secretary. Molly made Phi Kappa Phi this fall, among the first seven of

the senior class.

We celebrated Founder's Day by a jolly party in the " A O Pi wing"

of M t . Vernon dormitory. A f t e r the shadow of mid-years has passed,

we are eagerly planning our initiation banquet and dance. New Year

greetings to our sister chapters! MOLLY PERKINS.

EPSILON—CORNELL UNIVERSITY

It gives us a great deal of pleasure to introduce our seven new pledges:
Johanna Buecking '26, Frances Egan '26, Margaret Johnson '26, Muriel
Miller '26, Elizabeth McAdam '26, Donna Stone '25, Charlott Teeple '26;
and our four new initiates: Dorothy Durling, grad., Margaret Mashek '24,
Martha McCormick '24, and Hildagarde Wilson '25.

Our new graduate member—having received a Phi Beta Kappa key
before entering Cornell, has since her arrival here been elected to Pi
Lambda Theta, an honorary psychological society. She is working for
her A . M . in psychology and by her high grade of work is adding lustre
to the name of Alpha O.

Martha McCormick has a voice worthy of her name and has fre-
quently entertained us with her beautiful singing.

Many of our pledges are interested in athletics—among them Frances
Egan who succeeded in making the hockey team, and Johanna Buecking,
who won a place on the freshman basketball team.

In the underclass basketball games, played in early December, 1
Elsie Smith, and Anita Goltz distinguished themselves on the junior team,
while Veronica Brown and Hildagarde Wilson did excellent playing for the
sophomore team.

On Saturday, December 16th, we gave a Tea Dance in honor of our
freshmen which was well attended and proved much of a success. Early
the following morning we were awakened by our sophomore carollers and
then ensued a happy Christmas party which was much enjoyed by all.

A f t e r a vacation of two short weeks we returned rather reluctantly
to work, but we were much cheered by the visit of Elizabeth Pratt, one
of our illustrious sisters of '22. She remained with us five days and we
certainly were glad to see her and have her with us. She teaches this
year at Dana Hall.

Much to our delight two "five-pounds" arrived during the course of
the fall, the first announcing the engagement of Mary Moore and M r .
Shackleton, and the second that of Evelyn Heiber and M r . Schnee.
