cided tendency towards the aquatic in rushing. That might be the
case, but we have our share of sedate card parties too, less sedate,
though perhaps more enjoyable, theatre parties, and dinners in
profusion, formal and otherwise. Now to another topic, for I am
sure rushing must be the same the world over.

Sigma has one piece of information of a somewhat startling
nature, to confide to her sister chapters,—the marriage of four of
her members, within the last two months, one in August and
three in September. Two of the weddings took place near Ber-
keley, and were attended by the entire chapter. But it is not
only in the matrimonial field that Sigma has been active. We
received a pleasant surprise not long ago, when the Daily Cali-
fornian informed us that the curtain raiser, chosen from among
the thirty submitted for junior day, was written by one of our
recently initiated members, Rose Gardner, '11. Lillian Rice, '10
has been elected a member of the English Club, a literary and dra-
matic society, and is also a member of the California Occident
staff. Rose Schmidt, '09, also a member of the English Club, played
the leading part in the senior extravaganza given at the end of last
term in the Greek amphitheater. We, who have always looked to
find Rose among the leaders of college activities, often wondered
how we could get along without her, and consider ourselves very
fortunate in having her with us another year in active membership,
during a post-graduate course. The social event which at present
is being most eagerly anticipated is the "Freshie Glee." Marian
Crosett, '13, is a member of the dance committee, while one of our
juniors is serving on the committee for the "Junior Prom.," the next
event of social importance.

Everyone i n college is looking forward to the production of
"Erminie" on October, twenty-ninth. Sigma will have two repre-
sentatives in the caste, Jenette Miller, '11, and Irene Flanagan, '12.
Jenette took one of the leading parts in the Gilbert and Sullivan
opera given last year, but this will be Irene's initial appearance.
She has been cast for the soubrette role of "Gavotte," and we all
have the greatest confidence in her ability to do justice to the part.

And now, before closing, we take this opportunity to express
our heartiest wishes for a prosperous and happy year to all our
sister chapters in A O I I .

College opened this year on Sept. 22, and found us with seven-
teen strong girls. Our rushing season was a hard one this year, as
it only lasted one week. We entertained our prospective pledges
by several little informal stunts. One, which every one seemed to
