fireside, and show what they are to us and each other. How we
wanted you,—yes, every one of you—on that night when Alpha
claimed you as her own, our pledges! The mock initiation had been
the night before and was a great success, since Innes Morris and Mary
Thomas had it in charge. And so on the next night we wanted one
thing—just one—and that was A O I I , our fraternity in the broadest
sense and the deepest. There were many roses and much happiness.
The roses were sent to us by a very loyal patroness, Mrs. Safford, and
the happiness—well, it just grew there! Not a little was added to
our joy when after the ceremony, we received a proclamation from
the local chapter of I I B * expressing congratulations upon our new
sisters, and hopes that I I Chapter would always consider I I B $
among its very best friends. I t is an act like this one, that makes
A O I I feel that she is standing for the best in the eyes of the college.
Needless to say we prize the friendship of I I B $, and also the man-
ner of its expression.

About this time, the Y. W. C. A. gave its annual reception to
freshmen. For some time Dorothy Safford and her committee had
been meeting mysteriously and had greeted all questions with an
icy stare, which was not surprising when a North Pole Party was
found to be the result. I t was a great success, 'tis said,—anyway,
it's over! Then the Latin Club had a party for the much-feted
freshmen, and Cora and Dorothy divided their interests between
lemonade and Roman costumes. There were other festivities, and
between these were numerous elections some of the results of which
are as follows: Innes Morris is president of the Glee Club and the
Newcomb senior representative on the Tulane Debating Council; a

editor of the Arcade, the Newcomb quarterly; chairman of the Y. W.
C. A. social committee; a member of the executive board of the
student-body; and a member of the senior commencement committee.
Mary Thomas is class historian, a sub-editor of the Arcade, a member
of the junior class "stunt" committee, and of the Y. W. C. A. music
committee. Cora Spearing is sophomore editor of the Tulane Weekly,
secretary of the student-body, chairman of the Inter-collegiate com-
mittee of the Y. W. C. A., leader of the city mission class of the Y.
W. C. A., and a member of several class committees. Dagmar Ren-
shaw is president of the 1912 A r t Class, assistant business manager
