Bloomington Alumna? chapter is very
fortunate in having a number of new
members come to town this year. We
now boast of twenty-three.
The first meeting this fall was Sep-
tember 25 w i t h Louise and M a r y Rogers.
A report on recommendations of the
Executive Committee, discussion of the
year's budget, and a most interesting re-
port on business and good times at Con-
vention by our president, Hannah Blair
Neal, occupied the evening. We voted to
contribute to National Work Fund and to
give a basket to a poor family at Christ-
mas time.
The annual affair for Alpha O freshmen
was a buffet supper on October 16 with
cMary Mcllveen as hostess. A l l fourteen
pledges were present for a happy "get-
acquainted." Clever Hallowe'en ideas
were used in decorations and in arrang-
ing partners for the delicious dinner. A
business meeting followed the dinner.
We were happy to have Miss W y m a n
w i t h us on November 9 at a dinner party
in the Graham Hotel. Other guests were
M a r y Gertrude Manley, M r s . Chase, and
Naomi Nash, Beta Phi president. Han-
nah Neal was toastmistress. The tables
were beautiful w i t h baskets of red roses, the hope that St. Nicholas soon w i l l be
smilax, rose name cards and a soft glow
Denver Anticipates N.P.C. Meeting
By FRANCES E . K I M S E Y
The Denver Alumna? chapter has i n -
creased its membership somewhat the
past year, but as a great many members
live outside of Denver it is very difficult
for all of us to get together. However,
we welcome any new members, and hope
that everyone of them w i l l be able to
attend our meetings occasionally, i f not
all of the time.
Our main interest this fall has been the
new chapter house at Boulder. Although
We haven't been able, to go up and see
j * as often as we should like, we have
toed to keep closely in touch w i t h the
details. This is certainly a beautiful

from tall red tapers. An informal dis-
cussion followed the banquet. On No-
vember 10, Hannah entertained Miss
Wyman and officers of the alumnae chap-
ter at a delightful informal supper in
her home.
Our regular meeting on November 20
was held with Helen Duncan and Laura
Alexander. Christmas cards had arrived,
and the chairman-in-charge, Mary Mc-
llveen, had quite a rush of "customers."
We're very optimistic about our powers
of salesmanship (easy when you have a
bargain to sell), and hope to clear a nice
sum. The business was adjourned f o r
bridge.
December 4 we enjoyed a very pleasant
evening of bridge at the home of Roma
Sanders. I n the short business meeting
preceding, plans were made for filling the
Christmas charity basket. Further dis-
cussion about the sale of greeting cards
showed good progress—we even had to
re-order.
The last meeting before the holidays
was a " k i d " party on December 18. We
hemmed up our last summer's dimity,
scandalously short, tuck presents under
our arms and to Hannah's we went "with

home, and we are surely very proud of
the girls who have made it a realization.
A t the present time we are making
plans for the National Panhellenic Con-
vention which is to be held in Denver
sometime the last of January. The fact
that Elizabeth Hey wood Wyman, Wilma
Leland, and Pinckney Glantzberg are go-
ing to attend makes it doubly interesting
and exciting for us.
This year our meetings are held on the
second Monday night of each month i n -
stead of on Saturday as formerly. We
made this change so that more of our
girls who work in offices might attend.
