the vacation. We have, however, fixed up a big box at the house and are
all going to fix up other boxes during mid-semester vacation to send, if
any of you have anything you aren't using now and want to get it out of
the way before spring housecleaning, just box it up and send it to Mrs.
Chas. Anderson, 647 Lincoln Street, Gary, Indiana.

Beta Phi wishes to thank Esther McClellan, of Angola, for the two
lovely love-birds and the message she sent with them to Beta Phi ffo0 r
Christmas. The last year's freshman class bought a beautiful cage r
them and they are now in the patio where they keep the goldfish com-
pany! Thanks just loads, Esther!

The freshmen were "up and at i t " this Christmastime, too. They gave
the house a lovely bridge lamp, and they gave the upperclassmen one
of the loveliest and most successful Christmas parties ever given by a
freshman class for their "superiors."

W i t h such a grand end to the old year, and such a splendid beginning
for the new, we are all very optimistic for the coining semester which will
begin very soon, now; and we're hoping that Beta Phi will "crash through"
for one of the biggest and best years ever, both in achievement and in
spirit.

ETA—WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY

As was predicted, Eta chapter has so far indicated that it is going to
have one of the most successful years it has ever had.

Quite early in the fall we had initiation for Charlotte Tegtmeyer,
Roberta Bird and Helen Patterson.

Just a few weeks ago. before Christmas, we initiated Eleanor Bek-
kedal, Margery Stangel and Grace Poole.

We sent Jimmie Hughes and Geraldine Wright, the two girls with the
highest grades to the University Scholarship banquet. Dorothy Marsh was
one of the chairman arranging this banquet.

Lucille Goedde is District Superintendent of W. S. G. A. and a mem-
ber of the Memorial Union Drive, besides being a member of Dolphin
club and of the first Junior Swimming team and the University first team.
She is also vice-president of the Spanish club.

Edith Vaughan is a member of Badger Board.
Jimmie Hughes was chairman of the Stunt committee f o r the Y. W.
C. A. bazaar. She is also chairman of the Program committee f o r the
University Junior Prom. She was also a member of Union Memorial
Drive.
Many of our girls are going to prom and several are going with
assistant prom chairman.
Two of our greatest prides are Carol De la Hunt, our president,
and Mildred Engler, our vice-president. Mildred Engler directed a play-
given by Wisconsin Players in Union Vodvil and Carol played the lead-
ing role.
Beside giving a Christmas formal we had a Christmas "Slam" party
for the actives and pledges.
Our pledges gave a pledge tea and invited two pledges from each
sorority. The whole chapter gave a tea for Mrs. Coffin, our new chaperon.
Our only wish is that we may continue as well as we have started.

ALPHA PHI—MONTANA STATE COLLEGE

Having just come from the fraternity room and pledging I feel
just b r i m m i n g over w i t h Alpha O to-night. I t does seem very fit-
ting to begin the new year with a dear pledge, especially one like
Martha Maxey, little sister of Mary Maxey Kirk.
