TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 279

Martha and L. S. are living on a fruit farm at Tunnel Hill, 111.
Perhaps some other Iotas besides myself noticed in the January
issue of the Illinois Alumni Notes that L. S. was named along with
Harvey Sconce, A. N . Abbott, F. I . Mann, O. W. Holt, and other
prominent Illini, on an advisory committee of the College of Agri-

C U Nellie H . Roske has moved from Minnesota to Mt. Carmel, 111.
We know Martha is glad to have Nellie nearer to her. She—Nellie
—has two little girls and a baby boy.
Speaking of whooping cough, Inez Sampson Ranney wrote Anna
that she was convalescing from a severe illness when little Daphne
and Joel caught whooping cough.
Jana Wiley Rowland is now living at 304 Evans Ave., Valparaiso,
Ind. Elva Pettigrew expects to move to Indiana too. She hopes
occasionally to get to alumnae meetings at Indianapolis. Continu-
ing with the Hoosier state, Mary Wills Scholl is again in Indiana-
polis and is the new treasurer of the Alumnae chapter there.
Leola Scales has left Indianapolis and she and Walter like
Florida very well. They are at Haines City, Box 84.
Maurine M. Vinecore is now living at Pontiac.
Mildred MacDonald adopted a dear girl baby in August and
named her Joan. Some day little Joan will doubtless realize just
how lucky she is. . , ''
Susie Hash Hubbard visited in Champaign and Urbana over
Homecoming and had such an enjoyable time that she promises to
go again soon.
Nelle Erskine Benjamin and her husband have come down from
their Canadian home to spend the winter in Chicago.
Florence Moss Fairbanks and Mr. Fairbanks left after the holi-
days for their annual two months in California.
Helen Scott, of Omega, but Iota adopted, is studying journalism.
Her address is Hendrix Hall, Columbia, Mo. Everyone here in
Houston speaks exceptionally well of the journalism school there,
Helen. , ,. .
Pearl Robb is temporarily located in Chicago, but her perma-
nent address is 504 N. Roosevelt Ave., Bloomington, 111. _
Ethel Brooks is again teaching at Tulsa, Okla., with enjoyable
work and happy living conditions. Her street address is 510 S. Den-

ver. Of course Margaret Helen Waldo will be duly recorded under
BIRTHS, but we must add here that she has brown hair, blue eyes,
sleeps all the time and gains rapidly. -
Elsie wrote about poor Sheppie's troubles. In October she was
severely and critically ill with milk poisoning. She fooled them all
and was about to get well, when she was in an auto accident. Two
broken collar bones and other injuries kept her in a plaster cast in
a hospital for several weeks.

Elaine Buhrman Iry visited her parents in Illinois this summer.
Frances Fowler Browne was back for the Homecoming and
Chicago games. She, Bob and the boys are all fine.

May Brady Poirot visited her mother at Cullom this fall. She
says her baby boy is the dearest ever and boasts of sixteen dimples.

All of you will, I know, be as happy for me to pass on to you
a Christmas greeting from Aunt Bettie Pettit to Anna, as I was to
