implements contributed to the racket. O f course, we had to retaliate, and our
impromptu efforts were much appreciated.

Christmas week is a busy time f o r Alpha Omicron Pis every where, but we
feel as i f nobody really could have as much to do as we. We had a tree and
we presented ten-cent g i f t s to one another. The house received a real present
and we did not forget our children at the Settlement House. Each of us filled
two stockings and the Alumna; Chapter gave a party to seventy little tots.

In our next letter I hope to be able to introduce to you a fine group o f
recent initiates, and until then please wish us luck.

Everyone in Phi has the holiday spirit despite the fact that the coal shortage,

a blizzard, no dances, and only two shows a week make some of us exclaim,
"What's the use o f going to college anyway?" K . U . is the only college open
in the state, all the others have had to close, but we have coal and have sent

one hundred men to' the coal fields in answer to Governor Allen's call f o r
college men to work the deserted mines. One o f the trains going to the coal
fields was derailed by the miners, but none of our "strike breakers" were i n -
jured. Does all this seem rather irrelevant? I f you could only heard some o f

the girls t r y i n g to console themselves by reading Milton—"they also serve who
only stand and wait!"

When K . U . played Nebraska five of our girls visited Zeta chapter. They
had a wonderful time—even i f K . U . did lose the game—and enjoyed meeting

the Zeta girls.

One Sunday not long ago we found the dining-room doors mysteriously
closed at dinner-time and then noticing the place-cards on the tables we began to

guess whose birthday it was—but i t d i d not take us long to discoved one of
those familiar little versifications about cupid and roses and—yes, Bernice
Kuhn, '22, and Russell Davis, Sigma Chi. Surprised? We were literally
dumfounded.

We have two more pledges to add to the six who were mentioned i n the
November issue, I d a Logue, '22, a g i r l we are all going to love, and Blanche
Potts, '23, who is a wonderful violinist and concert master of, the orchestra.

Fortunate, in the most enveloping sense of the word, is Phi in having as

her chaperon, Mother Hoffman. Patient, kind, considerate, gentle-mannered,
and capable always. N o r does she f a i l to share whole-heartedly in our f r i v o l i -
lies and pleasures.

We were overjoyed when the sorority grades were averaged and it was

found that Alpha 0 stood second in scholarship on the H i l l . Editor.
