As Emma Louise Biedenharn is continuing her studies itt Boston this
year instead of in DePauw we shall claim her with the Alumnae. Her
address is. Students House, 96 The Fenway, Boston, Mass. She is study-
ing voice with Theodore Schroeder and expression at the Leland Powers
School. Boston is extremely interesting to Emma Louise, a girl from
Louisiana, and she also enjoys having Pauline Place and VevVille Hosman
of Theta there. 20.3 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass., is VevVille Hos-
man's address. Her work is along dramatic lines, both at Emerson College
of Oratory and at Harvard. She and Mrs. Stockbarger, our former
chaperone, have renewed their friendship and they are enjoying the theater
and concerts together.

As usual more honors have come to Judith Sollenberger. I n October
the Little Theater of Indianapolis selected the four best short plays sub-
mitted to them by Indianians. Judith's "The Wedding Gown" received
first place. She also received honorable mention on two other plays. These
are to be published by Bobbs-Merrill and Judith will receive a royalty.
Just at present Judith is spending most of her waking hours in the English
Seminary of Illinois University, reading weighty volumes of Butcher's In-
terpretations of Aristotle's " A r t of Poetry."

Since moving to Terre Haute, Agnes Lakin Phillips has been able to
keep in touch with DePauw affairs by attending the Alumnae Banquets and
the Panheilenic meetings. She has found that Fae Tribble Maxedon of
Beta Phi is living in Terre Haute. This had a significance other than both
being Alpha O's. When Beta Phi was established Fae wore Agnes's pin
and they really became acquainted then. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips attended
the American Legion Convention at New Orleans in November.

Mary Duncan Cates has always been an enthusiastic member of Theta
even if geographically she isn't very near to the chapter. Recently she

Alpha O's who were fortunate enough to attend felt very proud of our
sister.
