There was the picnic supper, given

member immediately. We are very
happy over the warm welcome we are
getting everywhere.
On Thanksgiving, we, feeling so f u l l
cided to try to make others a little
happier too, and so we sent money to
the Y.W.C.A. to help make up Thanks-
giving baskets to be given to some poor
family. At Christmas, Theta Eta gave a
Christmas basket to a poor family.
Theta Eta made one gala day of its
first Founders' Day. I n the afternoon,
our t w o pledges Katherine Johnson, and
Edith Krumme, who were formally
pledged last October, were initiated. Fol-
lowing the initiation, there was a ban-
quet at the Gibson Hotel, and then after
a talk given by Ermina Smith Price

chapter had a theater party.

Joyce Cheney Stevens (Gamma Ex.
1912), writes sketchingly of herself, but
f r o m her few words and many omis-
sions, we know y o u ' l l find her charming.
She was registered in the University of
Maine for two years; then upon request
of Dean Stevens who seemed to think
she wasn't progressing, she transferred
to Leland Powers, a school of drama
and speech, where she says, she should
have been long before. Ten years later
she tasted sweet revenge by marrying
Dean Stevens' son and settling herself
on the edge of his campus. Gamma was
delighted to hear of her appointment;
we suspect you w i l l all be before long!
