200 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

IN MEMORIAM

Behold the bridegroom cometh! We know not whence nor why
he came!

The angel of death on the rounds of his unceasing vigil paused
in our midst Thursday morning. When he went on his way again
he left us sorrowing, for he took with him the spirit of one of
Zeta's fairest daughters Helen Fiske Steckley.

The news of her death coming suddenly and unexpectedly as
it did, was a shock to us all.

A charming, gifted girl. An only daughter indulged by a loving
father and mother. A bride of less than a year, the pride of an
adoring husband, with everything in life to live for, we can not
help but ask why should she be taken and less worthy ones left to
live. Our only answer is "His will not thine be done!"

Helen Fiske Steckley has been a loyal daughter of Alpha O
for several years, and in her death, Zeta chapter as well as Alpha
Omicron Pi sustains a grievous loss.

Our grief is profound. To her sorrowing relatives our sympathy
is extended.

Our consolation is this: Helen Fiske was a girl of high ideals.
Her life was pure. When the summons came as it did without
warning, her house was in order, her peace with her God was made.
Let us bow to His will. And like Helen Fiske Steckley have our
house in order.

"Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the son
of man cometh."

EDITH SWAIN.
