and the outcome is d o u b t f u l . Eliza- Alice Brown ('31), Mary Murray ('33),
beth can get i t , though, i f anybody can,
; so we are not worried about that part
of our annual party.
Marie Jo Crutcher ('30), was recently
elected to Phi Beta Kappa. This event
did not surprise us a great deal, since
she has a habit of making honoraries,
two of which are a French society and
an educational organization. She is
majoring in mathematics.
M a r y T r o u t ('30), was selected to go
to Chicago with two other music stu-
dents to spend a week at the National
Music Convention there.
Four of our members were elected to
the Liberal Arts Club, an English honor-
ary. They are Dorothy Jackson ('30),
Omicron Pi Seniors Are Entertained in Detroit
By B E T T Y HEMENGER, University of Michigan
Omicron Pi has had a great deal hap-
pening to her lucky sisters recently, and
whenever something interesting comes to
us, we want our sisters "wherever met"
to share the news w i t h us. We've just
initiated six more splendid girls, and it
appears as though we're trying to mo-
nopolize Ohio this time. There are M i l -
'dred Andrews from Warren, Adele
Ewing and Jean Mitchell, both from
Cleveland, and Frances Hines from A k -
yron; then we have Priscilla Anderson
from Bay City and Ruth Kimberly of
Detroit. Pro week was extremely suc-
cessful this year, revealing the fine
sportsmanship of our six pledges. On the
Sunday following initiation ceremonies,
3 banquet in honor of our new sisters
was given in a private diningroom of
:the new Women's League Building.
• N o w because this is the last chance
to hear f r o m our Seniors, as actives, we
will give them the floor! They insist
Upon telling you first about the enjoy-
able entertainment given them by the
Detroit "alums." On Saturday, A p r i l 5,
the Seniors were invited to Detroit for
a bridge luncheon at the new Y.W.C.A.
Ummmm's" accompanied the delicious
food, and "Oh's" resounded f r o m one
end of the tables to the other as each
Senior noticed a prettily wrapped pack-
age at her place. Yes, there was a
iPft for every girl. Well, it was a great
little party and the Seniors surely ap-
preciated it—everyone told me so.

and Katherine Pearce ('32). Katherine
was also recently initiated into Eta Sigma
Phi, Latin honorary.
The Miami Panhellenic committee for
the making of next year's rushing rules
includes Helen Albright ('30).
Margaret Barr ('32), Jane Cryder
('32), Elizabeth McConnaughy ('32), and
Lurabelle Davidson ('32), were chosen
to participate in the annual Indoor Meet
sponsored by the W.A.A. to demonstrate
gymnastic exercises, marching, and t u m -
bling.
We have two new pledges, Treva
Chambers ('33), Findley, Ohio, and
Anna Dradney ('33), Ancon, Panama
Canal Zone.
The Junior girls' play has become a
part of our "Michigan memories" now,
and i t was a huge success. I've t o l d you
before that it is traditionally presented
to the Seniors on the opening night.
A t 6:30 the Seniors met in caps and
gowns at the banquet at the Women's
League and had a gay time singing
their last year's J. P. songs. Afterwards
they filed two by t w o out of the build-
ing and marched across the "Diagonal"
of campus; then wound their way past
the Lawyers' Club and the "White
House" to the tune of their own hilari-
ous singing. Traffic on State Street
was held up as the snake dance pro-
ceeded the length of the street, and then
wound back toward the theatre en-
trance of our League. Eight grave old
AOII Seniors tried to uphold their dig-
n i t y in the audience, but as the curtain
rose, and we saw ten A O I I Juniors ready
to perform for us, our mortar-boards
went off, and we became the excited
little girls that were really masked by
those formal gowns. Well, we were
proud of our sisters.
Two of our Betty's moved into an
apartment this semester, and they en-
tertained the Seniors and Juniors at an
attractive tea in their cozy new rooms.
You know, apartments for t w o are
rather dainty and small, so we went in
relays of five and six. B u t if their
rooms are small, at least their food
wasn't scarce. I don't believe I've ever
