158 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

a meeting of the Los Angeles alumnae. It was a luncheon at the beauti-
ful home of Hazel Crabill of Rho. Hazel, Jess and Mildred Stahl were
the hostesses and more than thirty-five girls were present. Maria Studts—
Zeta, who, with her parents, has moved to Los Angeles was at the luncheon.
Viola was very much interested in the work the Los Angeles alumnae
have undertaken—the education of a poor girl who has unusual ability.

Hearing Viola tell of her California visit, made the rest of us long
to go out there too, to see our sisters in A O I T .

CHICAGO ALUMNAE
Greetings to all members of Alpha Omicron Pi and especially to those
living or visiting in Chicago. You are cordially invited to come to the
meetings of the Chicago Alumnae Chapter which are held the second
Saturday of each month at three o'clock. The location of meeting can be
ascertained by calling your Grand President, Evanston 3415 M , or my
number, Evanston 7675.

The October meeting fell on the day of the Chicago-Northwestern
football game and some of us sat out in the rain and watched Chicago
beat Northwestern. Nineteen sensible alums met with Julia Fuller Crane
and enjoyed a pleasant, comfortable afternoon.

In November we were the guests of Goldie Halquist Buehler. Her
two attractive youngsters almost beguiled us from business matters that
needed weighty consideration.

On November twenty-sixth many of our group attended the beautiful
wedding of Carolyn Nethercot and Robert Sawyer John which occurred at
three o'clock in St. Marks Church, Evanston. The wedding was followed
by a reception at the home of the bride.

Our Grand President entertained us on December ninth in her charming
new Evanston home. Margaret Ellen—blessed infant—was the main at-
traction. So many, many "aunties" took turns in cuddling her that only
the sweet disposition, inherited from her mother, kept her f r o m raising a
vigorous protest. Projects for increasing the Rho House Fund were dis-
cussed between admiring hugs and kisses. Many things are brewing and
we are hoping to be able to announce our enterprises as successfully under-
taken by the time of our next letter.

Our January meeting will be held at the Drake Hotel immediately
following the Chicago Panhellenic luncheon. This will be a busy meet-
ing f o r we have much business to discuss both national and local.

INDIANAPOLIS ALUMNAE
We celebrated Founders' Day with a luncheon at the home of Cleo
Woods. Her assistant hostesses were Leola Scales, Lucy Allen and Ber-
nice Floyd. The table, at which eighteen members were seated, was
decorated with candles and place cards. The place cards were booklets
containing the names and addresses of each member. A f t e r a delicious
two-course luncheon had been served, Ethel Hippensteel introduced the
