CHAPTER LETTERS

PI, NEWCOMB COLLEGE

Greetings to all the old and especially the new Alpha O's. Pi
hopes every one of you has had the best of vacations.

A l l of our girls are back i n fine spirits and f u l l of enthusiasm f o r
the year. P i has the honor and somewhat the misfortune (think what
an exodus!) of having seven seniors. N a t u r a l l y the chapter is large-
ly enthusiasm.

We are very fortunate and proud of having had so many of the
college honors "thrust upon us." Gladys is president of the Aca-
demic Student Body and presides with due dignity and grace. The
talent is hereditary—her father is a judge. W i l l i e is president of the
Music Student Body, Rosamund, president of the A r t Student Body,
Margaret, president of the senior class, Georgia Belle, vice-president
of Y. W. C. A., Delie, president of Y. W. C. A., and "Teddy,"
Business Manager of the Arcade. T h i s list probably w o n ' t be so
v i t a l l y interesting to others but we are so " p u f f e d u p " that I
couldn't refrain from boring you with them. The line of officials
certainly sounds formidable but the girls are not.

The first week of school we pledged our new girls, L i l l i a n Chap-
man, Clara H a l l , E r i n O'Niell and Jennie Snyder. They are going
to "ride the goat" this week, so by the time this goes into p r i n t , they
w i l l be "dyed-in-the-wool" A l p h a O's and P i is duely proud to
welcome them.

"Cap and G o w n D a y " was as w o n d e r f u l as i t always is at N e w -
comb and about ten times more so to the seven trembling seniors. I n
spite of the rain ( f o r New Orleans was trying herself) our spirits
weren't dampened at all and we smiled right on through the showers
and over our American beauties. Since then the thermometer has
been soaring. We try to wear our robes at least one hour a day but
even that has cost many a wilted collar.

O f course we miss " D o r o t h y " more than we can say. Fragmentary
notes announce the fact that she is very busy instructing the youth
of Monroe. Pi has been spoiled i n the past by Dorothy's ministra-
tions but now we have to do f o r ourselves. Good training no
doubt!

Cora is back at her singing lessons and drops i n f o r an occasional
chat, mostly on "camp", f o r she spent the summer at Camp Ouine-
beck. T o hear her m o u r n i n g over the clothes she can't button is
proof of the time she had. One of our K a p p a friends t o l d us that
