TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 249

Homecoming day was celebrated in the usual way, with a tea
for the alumnae after the game and a breakfast at the Butterfly Tea
Room Sunday morning. Mary Driscol, Theta chapter, now teaching
a t College Corner, Ohio, was a visitor at that time. Helen Silver
Omicron Pi, also spent a few days with us.

y u i t e a number of last year's seniors have come back for a short
visit w i t h us. Those who are too far away f r o m O x f o r d to make the
trip easily, have remembered us in other ways. I wonder why
"food" is the obsession of every college girl?

Marcella W i l s o n visited us after Thanksgiving and attended
I the S. A . E. formal while here.

O n December 8, Founders' Day, the pledges entertained the
upperclassmen with a most delightful banquet. Besides a "royal
feast," each pledge presented her sponsor with a darling silver vanity
case, the letters A O n being engraved on i t . Then, of course, just
before the holidays the chapter gave its annual Christmas party.
There was plenty of good food and presents f o r the "poor as well
as the rich."

Earlier in the year, Mrs. Spenceley, a patroness, and at present a
member of the faculty, entertained the active members with a tea.
This Sunday, Mrs. Hadsel another patroness and the wife of Miami's
Latin professor, has invited the entire chapter to a tea at her home.
We are looking forward to it with excitement. Ordinarily, Sun-
days in O x f o r d are so dull that one feels like crawling in a hole and
not appearing until 7:30 class Monday, but this promises to be a
more cheerful week-end for all of us.

I t does not seem to me too late to mention that our delegate
and president, Irene W i l t , gave a most interesting account of the
happenings at convention last summer. We enjoyed her talk thor-
oughly. I t made us feel that these people of w h o m we hear so
much, are after all real people and not merely names—that have to
be learned at examination time especially.

And now for the activities of the chapter. Virginia Cox made
Varsity Hockey. Thelma Nickel made Volley Ball Team and
Louise Murray, my dieting roommate, made the soccer team. Mildred
Engle has been elected president of Sophomore girls and is on
the Student Senate and Athletic Board. A l W h i t e is on the Junior
Prom Committee. Several of the pledges have been prominent in
athletics. Lois K i n g and Betty Greiner are captains of Freshmen
Hockey Teams. W e are now organizing sorority basket ball teams
and the freshmen are strong for it. Last but not least, we are happy
to have near us, Hester Sroute, Iota, who is a member of the faculty
of O x f o r d College f o r Women. She attends meetings occasionally
and we are all mighty glad to have her.

BERNADETTE WINTER.

OMICRON PI—UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Lots of exciting things have happened since the last time we appeared

in print.
I n the first place, we have acquired four new sisters. They are Mary

Lawton. '28, of Traverse City; Josephnc Norton, '28. of Ann Arbor;
Lucille Tittle. '28. of Clinton; and Margaret Clark, '27, of Detroit. They
are all five girls of whom Omicron Pi is justly proud.

Just before Christmas we pledged I.eone Lee, a' freshman from
Detroit.

Founders' Day was celebrated with a luncheon at the College Club in
Detroit. Helen Howard was a most efficient charman and made it a de-
