TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 145

After a most strenuous rushing season we feel fully repaid and are glad to
introduce to you our seven new pledges.

II. T.'s football season was a grand success considering the fact that we
had only one old man on the team. We won three games, lost three and tied
three. Our greatest accomplishment we think was in tieing "Vandy," our
worst enemy, 3-3. We hope to do even better than this in basketball.

Girls athletics are beginning to be given a prominent place on the " H i l l "
and we hope that several A 0 LTs will make the various teams. This year
the girls had charge of the biggest and most successful mass meeting ever
held at "Old U. T." and the men all agreed that in the future everything of
the sort will be left to the girls to manage.

We have been indeed glad to catch a few hasty glimpses of some of our
old girls, though it makes us sad to think they are no longer with us. Grace
Ware Quincey, who now lives in West Virginia was here for a few days.
Elizabeth Kennedy spent a few week-ends here when she found enough spare
moments. Helen Shea is with us now on a short furlough, having come from
Brooklyn where she has been in training as a nurse. We hope that Lynn
McNutt will soon be back and make a report as to how she enjoys teaching.

In January we hope to put alongside our many cups a new one, the scholar-
ship cup, just recently offered by a member of the faculty to the sorority with
the highest scholarship.

Now let me tell you something wonderful. Out of four girls to make Phi
Kappa Phi, our honorary fraternity, only two were fraternity girls and one
was Eleanor Burke, our chapter secretary. We are all so proud of her that
we hardly know" what to do.

KAPPA—RANDOLPH MACON WOMAN'S COLLEGE

We all knew that Elizabeth Butterfield would never be an old maid, but
we did not know that we were meeting the lucky man when she introduced
us to Mr. Don W. Buttler, a few weeks ago. We were thoroughly convinced,
however, upon finding the hurriedly scribbled note, on November 24, saying
that they had gone to Washington to be married. They are at home now at
202 East St., Pittsfield, Mass., and while Kappa misses Elizabeth dreadfully
we are wishing her just all the happiness in the world.

When college opened this fall there were only four juniors in the fra-
ternity but we are unusually proud to say that there are five now, since Mary
Bailey Ragland is the fifth. She was bid on advanced-standing pledge day
and was initiated the night of November 22. With initiation and Elizabeth's
wedding in one week we had our hands rather full and were just a bit excited.

Perhaps you know that the student body of Randolph-Macon, with the aid
of the faculty, is supporting and educating two Serbian girls. This is their
first year here and naturally they have aroused a great deal of interest among
the students. They are exceedingly bright and attractive and learn so rapidly
that we are ashamed of our ignorance. Not a word of English did they know
when they arrived and now, I am told, their vocabularies number between
seven hundred and a thousand words. Our chapter and the Phi Mu Chapter
here have agreed to clothe one of them, we pay for and make her clothes and
really they are not half bad. One of the matrons supervises our work and
tells just what the girls need and how they wish their things made.

It was so good to have Helen Scott, Hex Hardy, and Anna Taylor back for
Thanksgiving. It seemed almost like "old times" to have them here and to
