We have been eagerly waiting for this opportunity to announce the
pledging of Dorothy Scharf '24, and Esselwyn Larson and Margaret
. McKay '26; furthermore, to say that we have initiated our much-prized
sophomores, Charlotte Collins, Sue Crawford, Anne McCabe, and Ruth
Tombaugh.

In November, Dorothy Shaw presented the chapter with the announce-
ment of her engagement to M r . Frank Talloth—and accompanied it with
a box of luscious chocolates. "Pete" Ford greeted us, in December, with
the news of her engagement to M r . William Esmond, by inviting us all
to a fraternity supper at her home, where we also celebrated Founders'
Day. I t was quite an event as we had Merva, our Grand President, with
us to speak of the founding of Rho.

Ella May Upthegrove paid us a short visit when she came to town
for the Junior Prom. She is one of our Kappa chapter sisters.

Several of our members have covered themselves with glory this
semester by taking such an active part in affairs on campus. Dorothy
Crugar was elected social chairman of the Sophomore class, and was also
a member of the Sophomore hockey team. Undine Dunn, whose picture
often appears in the New York and Chicago papers as a crack shot and
captain of the Girls' Rifle Team, is also social chairman of Red Lantern,
the Sophomore girls' organization. Agnes Biesemeier, Undine Dunn,
Bernice Anderson, and Melba Mathew received their numerals and honors
in dancing. Nellie Campbell made the senior, and Agnes Biesemeier, the
Sophomore hockey team.

A O I I was second on campus in scholarship this year, Delta Zeta
holding first place. The record shows that four of our last year's freshmen
were on the Honor Roll of the University, and also two of last year's
Sophomores. A t the Honor Chapel, two out of the six highest freshmen
girls were AOII's.

A joint glee club concert is a new feature attracting attention on
campus. Of course we'll back that to the limit, with Louise Lowry, one of
our Juniors, president of the Girls' Glee Club, and Dorothy Scharf, l i -
brarian of the organization.

The Student Relief Fund is a big thing on campus, too, and A O n
has given up one of two dances allowed annually, each girl turning over
three dollars to boost the worthy campaign.

Just at present we are occupied with attending basketball games and
track meets, and preparing for—final exams! Enough of this!
