TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 149

We are happy to announce two wonderful pledges—Mary Emily W i n -
ters '26, of Anderson and Julia Meyers '26, of Shelbyville.

Mary Louise Fitton made Phi Beta Kappa with all of her other
achievements. We are all so proud of her.

Margaret Wight pledged Pleaides, an inter-sorority organization and
made Garrick Club, the selective dramatic association.

Alpha O received honorable mention f o r her house decorations during
Home-Coming week. Again we were honored by having one of the
three best stunts in the annual Show Down.

In athletics, too, we have made a good showing. Five of the girls
made class hockey teams, Kathryn Bolitho, varsity hockey, Gladys Alger
and Dorothy Clarke, varsity rifle team, and Allison Bolitho, varsity
soccer.

Mildred Wight was elected second vice-president of the Freshman
class. W e had initiation—the first in our new fraternity room—for
Rosalie Esarey on October 27th.

We celebrated Founders' Day with a banquet, at which several of our
alumnae gave us wonderful talks about our founders and the fraternity.

W e have had two house dances. Mildred McCoy, Merry Louise Robin-
son, and Iva Wray were with us f o r the first. Miriam McCoy, Mildred
Douglass, Peg Schmalzried, Ethel Heitman, Evelyn McFerren Taylor,
Mary Fletcher Parthemer, Jane Sickles, Mary Scifres, Edith Huntington
and Mary Anderson of Omega have all visited us recently.

We held a Christmas Bazaar, December 4, 5 and 6, at which we
cleared $200 for our University Memorial Fund pledge and over $80 for the
house fund.

Our Indianapolis Alumnae presented us with some beautiful table
linen, Mildred Douglass with three attractive silver pepper and salt sets,
and Jane Sickles, Mary Parthemer, and Peg Schmalzried silk pillows.
Ada B. Smith of Theta sent us a dozen gold lustred goblets. Mrs. Mc-
Crory, our chaperone, made us a Christmas present of a dozen silver soup
spoons. The seniors leave to the house a very attractive floor lamp.

Miles Stevens, Lambda Chi of Wabash College, sent Beta Phi five
pounds of candy; f o r Helen Snoddy is wearing his pin. More candy is
coming too—for Louise H u t t has William Jenkinson's Sigma Alpha
Epsilon pin, Marjorie Weybright has A l Loudermilk's Sigma N u pin,
Marian Koegel is engaged to James Cox of Newberg and Mildred Stoker
is wearing Lawrence Busby's Kappa Sig pin.

Indiana University has another sorority—Chi Omega has recently
been installed.

We all came back to school January 4, after two weeks of a perfectly
wonderful vacation. Ever since school opened again we all have been
extremely busy studying hard f o r final examinations which are but two
weeks off.
