was graduated from the University of Nebraska Law School in 1913,
the same year that Breta was graduated from the university, and is
at present county attorney of Saunders County. They will be at
home after April 1st, at Wahoo, Nebraska.
Our February meeting was with Alma Birkner Ranlings and "Zu"
Chapline Campbell at Alma's home. Fourteen of us gathered
around the open fire, sewed, and talked Convention. We were glad
to have Grace Gannon, who was home for the week-end meet with us.
Our March meeting was a luncheon, with the active chapter at
the Lincoln Hotel. About fifty girls sat down to tables which were
beautifully decorated with spring flowers. The place-cards were so
arranged that an alumna was seated between two active girls, so
that we might become better acquainted. Katherine Volmer had
the luncheon in charge.
The active chapter give their formal March 17th, at the Lincoln
Hotel and the date for the reunion and banquet is May 12th. We
wish that every Zeta girl who reads this letter would begin now to
plan to come to the banquet. We want you all here and as soon as
you know that you are coming write and tell us so.
Jane and Elsie Piper expect to spend part of their spring vacation
with Lou Chace Shultz at Stanton, Nebraska.
Emma Schreiber Hunter accompanied her husband, Superintendent
Hunter, to the National Association of Superintendents and Prin-
cipals which met in Kansas City in February.
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Potter (Carrie Coman) have been spending
the winter in Seward at the home of Mr. Potter's parents. Mr.
Potter has returned to their home in Regina, Canada, and Carrie
expects to go in a few weeks.
Anabel Good, who has been spending the winter in California,
is expected home the last of the month.
The Lincoln Alumnae are greatly interested in the Convention and
several are planning to attend. May it be the best Convention that
Alpha Omicron Pi has ever held!

CHICAGO ALUMNffi
Since the last To DRAGMA letter, Chicago Alumnae chapter has
had but two meetings. The first one at the home of Carolyn Dorr
in Berwyn was a purely business meeting at which much business
was transacted. The second one at Doris Wheeler's in Evanston
was almost a real picnic. We met in the morning, each carrying
her luncheon in a little package, and a thimble, ready to sew. We

worked industriously until three o'clock in the afternoon on very
attractive percale dresses for the tubercular children of the open-
air rooms of two of the public schools. When three o'clock came,
we found fifteen dresses completed, but for finishing touches. Then
we went to the Rho initiation and saw eleven girls added to their
chapter roll.
The next meeting will be a social one—a dinner to our husbands
and men friends. This annual party is always a very enjoyable one,
and we hope to make this year's dinner no exception.
A number of us are looking forward to going to Convention, and
the rest of us who are not going are disappointed, envious, and at
the same time delighted that the others can go and enjoy all that
Convention is holding out to us. I t is really unnecessary for Chi-
cago Alumnae chapter to wish Convention all the success in the
world, because that is already assured, but Chicago Alumnae does
send her very best wishes to all the delegates and guests, and espe-
cially to the committees who are working so hard and faithfully.

INDIANAPOLIS ALUMNA
The January meeting of the Indianapolis Alumnae chapter was
held with Mary Fee Palmer. As this was her first time playing
hostess to the Indianapolis girls since coming to the city a bride, she
had everything gay and festive for the occasion. Margaret and Ger-
trude Jayne entertained the chapter for the February meeting. This
time the girls had a talk feste and discussed the future of everybody
and everything. We are situated so near Beta Phi and Theta Chap-
ters that we feel it incumbent upon us to discuss their welfare even
if we can go no farther. Esther Canady, a Theta girl, was a visitor
at the February meeting.
The Panhellenic of Indianapolis had the opportunity about two
weeks ago to make some money. For several days the Greek-letter
girls from all parts of the city were busy selling tickets for The
Scarlet Letter, which was shown at one of the down-town motion
picture theaters. The Panhellenic made five cents on each ticket
sold and from the last report nearly one hundred dollars had been
netted. This money is to be used as a part of the educational fund
The main thing on our program for the remainder of the year is
the state luncheon, to occur the first week in May. We are hoping
for a large attendance, as this is the one time we see all the "old"
girls and hear the many interesting tales they have to tell. This year
the luncheon promises to be a booster meeting for the Convention.
