268 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

but we managed to see quite a good deal of her during her short
visit in Nashville. Jo stopped with us for a few days before going
to install Kappa Omicron at Memphis. Needless to say, we enjoyed
having them both very much, and wish the rest of the grand, officers
would follow their good examples sometime in the near future.

The beginning of the new year marks several changes in the
plan and procedure of our meetings. After trying in vain to interest
all alumnae members of Alpha Omicron Pi in Nashville in our chap-
ter, we finally adopted a plan which we believe is going to prove
successful. Each meeting, to be held the first Tuesday evening in
the month, is to be of an entirely different nature. Violet Abbott
Cabeen, Psi '17, and Harriet Owsley, an alumna of Tau Delta, whom
we are very fortunate indeed to have with us this year, arc to plan
the meetings, and we are confident that under such capable manager-
ship our meetings will prove to be both interesting and profitable.
On Tuesday of this month we are giving a bridge party to which
all the alumnae are invited. The chapter house is to be used on all
occasions.

Several days before Christmas Frances Morton, ex-'24, surprised
us all bv marrying a Vanderbilt medical student. We are glad that
he is still a student so that Frances will be with us for a while longer
at least. The lucky young man is Jo Good, Jr., of Atlanta. Ga.

Although we regret greatly Martha Whitworth's inability, on
account of illness, to be president this year, yet we arc happy to
have Lucile Dvorak take her place. Lucile, you know, is always a
whiz at whatever she undertakes. This spirit is contagious and we
are starting out this year with a renewed enthusiasm. There are
rumors in the air, however, that Lucile may not be with us the
whole year, so you may know how glad we are to have Iulna Mould,
vice-president.
Hedwig Sloanc is to be Panhellenic delegate until Evelyn Schnee
returns. Evelyn is traveling in "furrin parts" with her husband.
Ethel Raby (Omega '24) is working for the Associated Chari-
ties. Helen Simpson (Omega '25) is at home this year.
At our Thanksgiving dinner party our guests were: Mrs. Louise
Norton French (Rho), Mrs. Miriam Smith, from Painesville, and
Edna Guilbert, a dietitian in one of the Youngstown schools.
Our Founders' Day meeting was a very lovely little Christmas
party at the Women's City Club. Santa furnished his children with a
Christmas tree filled with automobiles, aeroplanes, dolls, and jump-
ing jacks. Grace O'Brien (Tau), who is a psychologist at The
Child Guidance Clinic, and Hedwig Sloane (Epsilon) were initiated.
Martha Whitworth, Mrs. O'Leary, Marion Rothaar, a junior at Ober-
lin college, and Clarissa Scott were our guests for the evening. We
were very happy to have Martha able to be back with us again and
are glad to report that she is improving slowly. Although she is
not strong enough to resume her work, yet she hopes that she can
vi-it us occasionally the rest of the year. Scotty tells us that her
work at the Prince School of Education. Boston, Mass., is fascinat-
ing from the word "go." to the word "finish." Halle's are having her
as a floor executive driving the Christmas holiday season. Plans
for our philanthropic work for the year were discussed, but were
laid on the table for the next meeting since our president, Lucille
Dvorak, suddenly decided to take a vacation trip to New Orleans
