188 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

sponses, after which Kappa Omicron gave an entertainment, a
thrilling melodramatic pantomime of the perils of a lighthouse
keeper's daughter, with Polly holding aloft an electric torch as a
most realistic lighthouse, and showed that every member can
sing, by giving some college and original songs.

On Sunday we had a formal ritual meeting and election of
officers, then turned the meeting over to the new members. They
held a discussion of candidates, and a girl will fall little short
of being an angel i f she passes Kappa Omicron.

Monday afternoon the alumnae chapter gave a tea at Eliza-
beth Clinton's. Besides Elizabeth, Mamie, Linda and I , Mrs.
Diehl, wife of the president of Southwestern, and all the actives
received. I t was especially nice to meet the mothers of the new
members and to know that they, too, were proud of A . O. Pi.
But all good things come to an end, and Linda and I rushed off
to change, have a hasty dinner put forward an hour by good
Mrs. Best, f o r my convenience, then catch the train f o r home,
a tired, somewhat bewildered individual, but most happy, very
proud of our baby chapter and of the honor of being one of the
installing officers.

To know the actives is to feel that they will carry on an ideal,
and to know Memphis Alumnae chapter is to know that the
trust we put in them by accepting the chapter is not misplaced.

At the summer convention held in Canada, Pi Beta Phi announced
that the Arrow Endowment Fund now exceeds $103,000. This mighty
figure, while staggering in amount, gives us encouragement to look ahead
to the day when our own T H E M I S Endowment Fund, now over $10,000
and not started until the 1923 convention, will have achieved a similar
number of impressive round figures. Then, we can print articles and use
pictures without wearing out our fingers figuring up the discouraging cost
