TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 167

Elaine Standish, '12, has returned from Honolulu, where she
spent five months or so. She has announced her engagement to
Dr. Andrew Massie, and will be married very shortly.

Minette Stoddard, '11, has taken the place of her sister in the
Carnegie Library in Merced, after a course of preparation in sum-
mer school last year. Previous to that she was in the government
service in Washington, D. C.

Rose Von Schmidt, '09, returned last summer from Boston, where
she had completed a course in dramatic art in the Noyes School
of Acting. She has taught for the past semester in the Oakland high
school, giving a course in expression, but has given this up and w i l l
devote her time to readings, a number of which she has already
given. She has announced her engagement to George Bell, '09, of
the University of California, and a member of the Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity.

Anna Weeks, '07, is in Milan, studying to cultivate her voice.
A number of the girls have not as yet found it necessary to take
up any definite "career," but are enjoying the opportunity that free-
dom from studies gives to become acquainted once more with their
families and homes. Of these Blanche Ahlers, '11, Roberta Boyd,
'09, Ethel Foskett, '14, Rita Keane, '14, Georgia Meredith, '13, and
Marjorie Morris, '15. A l l except the latter, who is too far distant,
find it possible to give time and attention to the fraternity and always
include the house in a visit to Berkeley.

Of Alice Washburn Lorenz, whose name appears in the list of
Sigma members, I have no information.

Delta chapter's alumna? roll call is headed by the name of Mary
Grace Pickett. Miss Fickett was graduated from the Bridgewater
Normal School and taught a short time before entering Tufts in the
class of '97. She completed her college work in three years and
took her A.B. degree in '96. The following year she became a teacher
in the Gorham, Maine, Normal School where she still is. I n 1912
she went abroad and in June 1913 received her A. M . degree at
Columbia. Miss Fickett speaks often at teachers' conventions, is
very successful in her work and has written several text books for
use in elementary schools. As the founder of the local fraternity,
which became Delta chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi, she is held in
respectful and loving regard by all members of the chapter.
