varsity football man and Sigma Pi. Bernice Parkhill surprised us with
not only getting engaged but also married all within a few weeks. A n d

Grades have been the all important subject since we returned from the
holidays, for upon their announcement rested initiation. Probation begins
tomorrow for the pledges and initiation is to be held next Monday even-
ing. We are going to initiate seven girls and initiation is going to be
splendid. Our pledges haven't disappointed us a bit. Irma Fliche made
Theta Epsilon, a literary club the membership of which is determined by
try-outs. Hazel Hitchcock is Freshman representative on the All-Uni-
versity Council, and made all-star hockey team. Mildred Holen made
Aquatic League and Dorothy H i l l is Vice-President of her class. The
other girls are all active in Y. W. C. A. and W . S. G. A. work and we are
proud of them all.

Grace O'Brien, who spent last year studying in France, has returned,
and needless to say we're mighty glad to have her with us.

Panhellenic has begun an inter-change of dinner dates this year.
There is a regular rotation and two girls from each house go each week.
We all feel that there is not enough co-operation between sororities, and
are trying to improve them. A Panhellenic formal dance has been sug-
gested too, but nothing definite has been decided.

Mrs. Mildred Mosher, Lambda, stayed with us a few days, while
she took special work in Chemistry, and it seemed so good to have her
here. The house was cold most of the time she was here, but we hope
she'll come again in spite of it.

Gertrude Faulkenhagen, Tau, was here over the week-end, and we're
expecting a lot of alums to come down next Saturday for our formal,
which is to be held at the University club.
