is a member of W . A . A., and also of Campus Players. Josephine Hahn
at the dramatic try-outs this fall, was elected to the "Apprentices" of
Prentice Players, and took part in "The Passion Flower." Dorothy Hills
was a member of the freshman hockey team and also of W . A . A. With
the initiation of Margaret Wolf our pledges had to elect a new president.
We feel that their loss is our gain and we're very glad to have Margaret
upstairs with us.

Mrs. Perry attended our Founders' Day banquet and remained in
Evanston f o r several days afterwards. To really have one of the four
Founders present, made the banquet doubly significant. Mrs. Perry made
us realize what a debt of gratitude we owe to her and the other Found-
ers for presenting us with such a wonderful thing as Alpha Omicron Pi.
By the time she left, we all felt as i f she had always been a member of
Rho chapter. We had several others out of the A O I I hall of fame at
the banquet—Merva Hennings, Melita Skillen, Elizabeth Bond and Eliz-
abeth Hiestand Smith. We were surprised with ten pounds of candy
presented by Verceille Pilling Day and Alice O'Leary. Verceille stole
a march on us and Was Mrs. Ray Day before we received the candy.

In athletics this fall we had Bernice Anderson on the senior archery
team and Lucile Hurley and Dorothy Speirs on the senior soccer team.
Bernice is also a member of Daughters of Neptune. Carol Anger and
Evelyn Pearson were on the junior and sophomore soccer teams respec-
tively. Evelyn was manager of the sophomore team. Florence Hellstrom
was on the senior hockey team. Florence has amassed the 1.000 points
necessary for a women's " N " which she will be awarded at the next
W. A. A. spread. Volleyball, a second quarter sport, has attracted a great
many AOns. Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen are all out at
practice. The teams have not been picked as yet, but we're all living in
hopes. Grace Languth was elected manager of the freshman team. Ber-
nice Anderson and Carol Anger are out for the rifle team.

The A On team, captained by Blanche MacGregor, came out second
in the "Purp'e Parrot" campaign, bringing us a silver cup f o r our mantel.
In the Syllabus drive, under the leadership of Mildred James we came
out first. Mildred was chosen a member of the Syllabus Board.

Katherine Hodgson, one of our journalists, was elected a member of
Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalistic sorority. Blanche MacGregor
was a member of the junior social committee and did her bit toward
making this year's Junior Prom the best ever. Hortense Reynolds was
made a member of the Judiciary Committee of W . S. G. A. W . S. G. A.
is the Women's Self-Government Association, and one of Hortense's
duties is to pass judgment on co-eds who have exceeded the 12:30 a. m.
limit. Betty Heidman. one of our last year's seniors, is taking the inten-
sive secretarial course at Moser Business Co'lege. Betty tells us that
there are so many Northwestern girls at Moser this year that it might
almost be called the "finishing school" for Northwestern.

At Christmas time we bent all our energies toward the sale of
Christmas cards. The proceeds are going, as per usual, fo our house
fund. I am not sure of the exact sum, but I believe we made something
between two and three hundred dollars.

Helen Hawk announced her engagement to Grafton Carlisle, of Evan-
stom We have not received the five pounds confirming the announcement,
but it is reported to be on the way.

We are now all looking forward to our annual dinner dance, which
is to be held this year at the Belmont Hotel, on Saturday, January 16.
