The first meeting of the fall season was held
at the chapter house, and Louise Oliver dis-
cussed the financing of the chapter house with
the alumnae. A number of girls are buying
shares on the installment plan. The new plan
is working well. A s a girl gets a dollar or two
to spare, she sends it in to Margaret Gregory,
4205 5th Avenue N . W . , Seattle. Margaret
sends a receipt, and the payments continue un-
til $10 is received when the stock certificate is
turned over.
Helen M o r f o r d Carstens has been appointed
alumna? rushing chairman to work with U p -
silon Chapter in their rushing activities. Rush-
ing and pledging is a serious problem at the
University of Washington this year, and the
alumna? are giving their most active support.
Alumna? who know of girls from their home
town or elsewhere who might be rushed by
Upsilon are urged to drop Helen a line. H e r
address is 429-35th Street, Seattle.
Homecoming for Upsilon members was on
November 18, the day of the University of
Washington-University of California, Los A n -
geles, game. There was a reunion dinner at
the chapter house that evening. Upsilon is
settling down to intensive formal rushing, and
four dinners were on the program of the week
following pledging. Several alumna? attended
each dinner. Upsilon had three brides during
October. Fern Taft is now Mrs. Walter Ney-
lon. She was married on the morning of Sat-
urday, October 14, at the Church of the H o l y
Rosary. Mildred Sutter was married on Octo-
ber 18 at her home in Ketchikan, A l a s k a , to
Paul Stuart C h a r l e s , also of K e t c h i k a n . lished in California. Greg Moris, the profes-
Katherine Maxwell Croasdill was married Oc-
tober 27 at Christ Church, Seattle, to Russell
Leroy Sweany ( T K E ) , of Port Orchard. Inez
Swartzlander was an attendant. Marjorie
Beeuwkes ( T ) , who graduated last December
from the University of Washington, has been
delegated to live with the British Columbia
chapter and assist them with the rushing and
carrying on other sorority affairs. Marjorie is
living with a Vancouver AOLT, as the chapter
has no house, and is taking art. She will re-
main the second semester, if needed. Dorothy
Smith Falkenberg is back in the Seattle schools
this year. Edith Chapman Korres was mar-
ried to George Ollason on August 25, and is
living at 5739 30th Avenue N . E . Other mar-
riages of Upsilon alumna? include those of
Peggy A n n Griffith to Calmer M c C u n e and
Marian E l d e r to Nathaniel Haynes. M r s . K e n -
neth Mcintosh (Margaret Bare.T) after living
in Longview for several years has returned to
Seattle to make her home. Mrs. Dean Nus-
baum (Edith Broom) has moved from Wood-
way P a r k to S e a t t l e . Mrs. James H a r m s
(Edna Robinson) after living many years in
Huntington Park, Calif., is now making her
home in Seattle. E d n a and her family lived
for a short time during the summer in Helen
Brewster Buzzard's home on Lake Washing-
ton, and did not discover until later that Helen
is one of our Upsilon girls, also. Helen Nims
whose husband is Vernon F i t z g e r a l d , has a
young son. The Upsilon Mothers' Club held a
rummage sale on October 11 and netted over

work. Helen accompanied by Maud Moselev
who is still with the University Library, spent

by's parents, and t h r e e other U p s i l o n girls

er. These latter three scattered about the
world afterward. Julia Nichols found New
Y o r k so fascinating that she stayed there, ob-
tained a job at Macy's and spends her leisure
seeing sights. Marian Elder returned home in
August, and was m a r r i e d to Nat Haynes,
while Dorothy H a l l caught the wanderlust and
kept on going to England, France, Germany
and Belgium and did not return to Seattle un-
til October.

Helen Allen, after several years in New York,

comparative buying for Frederick and Nelson,
until something else turns up. Upsilon alumnse
will be sorry to hear that M r s . Grant, mother
of Margaret Widrig and J e a n n i e Grant
Anderson, has been very ill with tuberculosis.
A f t e r several months of absolute quietness
she is improved, and it is hoped that the case
is arrested. Nellis M c B r o o m ( T ) spent the

a thrill this summer when over a bargain coun-

fun as when she ran the campus and brought
honors to Upsilon. Ruby Hazlett was married
to John T o d d , J r . , on October 15. Sue Sco-
field Johanson is teaching music as well as

While this is the one official news letter of
the state alumna? chairman, other news letters
can be arranged if the Washington chapters
wish to arrange for financing them. I will be
glad to hear f r o m the alumna? groups in the
state who may be interested in such a letter.

DEAR WISCONSIN ALPHA O'S :
As I sit down to compose this letter to you,
I wish I knew more of you personally. But
my first job seems to be getting the address
file in order. Won't you all help and return to
me immediately, a card with your address? I f
I am to get to know you personally I'll first

have to drop in and call on each one someday,
so don't be surprised to see a stranger on your
door-step, but if you should get to Oconomo-
woc first, please do stop at 124 Lisbon R o a d a
minute.
But Wisconsin is a large state and it will
probably take all of two years to get around,
therefore, I beg of you to send your "Mem-
bers-at-Large" dues of $1.50 to the Central
Office real soon and not wait for my call. A l l
alumna? members who are members of some
alumna? chapter send in dues through their lo-
cal chapter.
Recently the M i l w a u k e e Alumna? Chapter
sent a huge box of clothes to Bland M o r r o w
for "our" mountain folk, and from her letter,
I am sure they were very much appreciated.
On December 6 the Milwaukians held their
Founders' Day Service. I wish everyone could
have been with us and heard Mary Dee Drum-
mond speak on National Work. Mary Dee
fires you with enthusiasm, you can fairly see
those babes with little or no advantages and a
great need for help. They worship Bland
Morrow, AOn's Social Service Worker, and
who wouldn't, for her tireless effort and work?
As a Social ServiceAVorker she is perfect and
doing all of her share, in many cases ours too.
Have you done yours? W e have hoped that
the Members-at-Large w o u l d send $1.00 in
whole or part, to aid this work. Will you
please send yours now ? I know, as well as
each of you, it has been and still is, in many
cases a bad year, and if you can't send any-
thing—no more said—but if you can—Please
do. I f you cannot contribute, I ask you to read
about our work and keep informed of what we
are doing as a fraternity. Y o u know a ^chaifl
is only as strong as its weakest link," and
every AOII is a link in our chain. D o try to
be a strong one!
Sincerely yours in AOII,
