P« a« Easter House Party in Mississippi
By ADA MOTT, Sophie Newcomb College
A reporter from Pi chapter really has
to be on the alert to keep up with all
the activities in which AOITs take part,
and especially at this time of the year.
Since our last letter so many things have
happened that I'm afraid I'm going to
leave out something.
We were all so happy to have Eliza-
beth Heywood Wyman with us for a
while in March, and we shall never for-
get her visit to us. It always means
so much to know a member of Execu-
tive Committee and especially one of
the Founders. We now realize more
than ever just how big and wonderful
an organization we are a part of, and
also the traditions and standards we
must strive to maintain. Gladys Ann
Renshaw entertained the faculty at tea
in honor of Miss Wyman. The actives
also entertained Miss Wyman at tea and
invited representatives from the other
fraternities on the campus to meet her.
Election time is always an exciting
time, and although only a few selections
have been made to fill offices for next
year, we are proud to announce that we
already have two major officers. Janie
Price ('31), was elected president of
the dormitories and Ada Mott ('32),
vice president of the College of L a w .
Ada is the first co-ed to hold a major
office in the College of L a w .
We are happy to tell, too, that Janie
Price ('31), and Elizabeth Jones ('32),
were chosen to be maids in the New-
Nu Girls Win Elections to Honorary Societies
By MARGARET H . WILSON, New York University
Nu has first of all a pleasant April sult of second semester rushing. They
shower of pledgees to present as the re- are—to mention their names and not
Il l M i
comus Ball, a carnival festival, the
'maids of which are selected because of
their popularity and worth in the dormi-
tories. Betty Johnston ('30), played one
of the leading roles in the opera, "Dido
and Aeneas."
Among the notables in Newcomb's
athletic world you will find Marcelle
Leverich ('31), and Marietta Griffin
('33), captains of the Junior and Fresh-
man baseball teams respectively.
Ways of making money are always of
interest, so we want to tell about the
Put-Put Golf Tournament that the
alumna? have been sponsoring. Each fra-
ternity and alumna? chapter was repre-
sented by a team of six, and individuals
were allowed to play also. Kappa Al-
pha Theta won the loving cup given
to the team making the best score.
Newcomb doesn't have' mid-year
pledging, but we are proud to introduce
our two new "promisees," Edwina Scott,
Ripley, Tennessee, and Anna Gray.
The pledges entertained the actives
with the loveliest of breakfasts at the
Courtyard Kitchen, down in French
town; and as if that wasn't enough, they
gave us a pretty linoleum for the room.
All thoughts and plans are centered
on the Easter houseparty "across the
lake" at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. We
always have the best times imaginable,
as can well be judged from the length
of time before and after Easter the topic
monopolizes our conversation.
