reached with the appeal for this worth-while
project, for we have long wished for a unified
work to hold our interest. W e have such now,

our aims and to have a part in their realiza-

Bess Wyman says, "We can prevent the un-
necessary suffering of one child, the unneces-
sary failure of one man, this is well worth
the sacrifice." There are seven thousand and
more active and alumna? members in AOIT

each m e m b e r would mean as a f o r c e to-

settle down to routine again, I know you will
all be interested in news of our active chap-
ter and national plans for the year.
I have a letter from A l p h a P h i Chapter at
Bozeman containing much interesting news.
M a r y Balkovatz, Butte, is president for this
year. Mrs. Ritchie is the housemother. In
order to cut expenses, the girls at the house
have dispensed with a house boy, and each
girl is taking a turn at serving and helping
with the lunch dishes. They feel very useful

T h e rushing season was very successful, ten
girls having been pledged. I believe one or

Butte, and Esther Louise Blake, Grass Range.
T h e girls have had one fireside and one "after-
dinner coffee." They are inviting each frater-
