so TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

 senior play to be given in December. Addie Steinberg, '11, is sec-
 retary of the sophomore class, and Pearl Longley of the class of 1912
 is its vice-president. There are several of us busy on different com-
 mittees. Helen Miller, Abbie Wellman, and Gladys Graves are
 singing in the choir.

      We shall look forward to To DRAGMA and welcome it warmly
 as one of the means of communicating with our sisters near and far,
 and as a very, very pleasant part of our sorority life.

                           GAMMA, UNIVERSITY OF MAINE

      From the beautiful Maine campus in the dear old "Pine Tree
 State," Gamma sends heartiest greetings to her elder sisters.

      I t was only on the sixteenth of April, 1908, that we were initiated
and installed as Gamma chapter of A O I I . I n the following June
we took in four new active members, but since then we have lost
by graduation, several of our ablest girls, and truest friends. We
were proud to claim the valedictorian of the graduating class as one
of our sisters. Although we feel keenly the leave-taking of these
girls, we are glad to say that things argue well for the future.

     On Wednesday, October 7, we gave a "rushing" party for the
freshmen girls, among whom we expected to find good sorority mater-
ial, and in this we were not disappointed. Twelve girls—eleven
freshmen and one sophomore—are pledged to us, and by the initia-
tion of these we will have an enthusiastic chapter of twenty-four
girls. The pledges are: Margaret E. McManus, Margaret J. Kee-
ley, Helen Charlotte Worcester, Bangor, Me.; Emily M . Bartlett,
Miretta Bickford, Marion C. Estabrook, Margaret Flint, Mary
Russell, Carrie Luella Woodman, Orono, Me.; Edith Folsom, Still-
water, Me.; Hazel Mariner, Bradley, Me.; Bernice Rich, M i l -
ford, Me.

     From a financial standpoint also, Gamma is in excellent condi-
tion. Although we have no chapter home, we are pleasantly situated
in the dormitory, Mt. Vernon House, and have our chapter room in
Wingate Hall.

     Gamma extends a most cordial welcome to all who can arrange
to call at any time.

     Half an hour ago I cleared my desk, filled a fountain pen, found
a tablet, and sat down to write up the Epsilon chapter of A O n .
Then I gazed across the valley waiting for Pegasus but he did not
come. Instead came Mnemosyne, strangely resembling the photo-
graph of Edith Dupre, and she has been sitting here ever since talk-
