76 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

adorable one. A n d she l e f t us filled w i t h enthusiasm, having given
us, during her short stay, a new inspiration f o r all our work.

The first college social affair w i l l come tonight, the Y . M . C. A .
reception f o r the new students. A n d although some freshmen are
usually afraid to venture forth, we are hoping f o r a large crowd,
for it is here that everyone can learn everybody else, since each per-
son must go tagged w i t h his own f u l l name, written in plain script.

We hope to be able to really tell something next time, f o r we real-
ize that a very f u l l field is before us.

The past weeks have been crowded so f u l l of excitement and hap-
piness f o r Kappa, that I scarcely know where to begin my account,
but I think this bit of college news should interest a l l . \V*e were very
unfortunate i n losing last year our beloved founder and only presi-
dent— Dr. W . W . Smith, so we begin this new year w i t h a new
president. D r . W i l l i a m A . Webb o f Missouri was chosen to take
his place. H e is already popular w i t h the students and we believe
that he w i l l make us a splendid president.

Kappa's chapter list must look mighty small to you—well, it
does to us, too, and feels smaller s t i l l when j*ust eight of us meet at
fraternity meeting, and we miss dreadfully the six seniors who l e f t
us last June. However, most of them are coming to see us some
time this year, and we are hoping that they can come f o r initiation.
Nan Atkinson is teaching at Stony Creek, Va., Nannie Vaden at
Ashland, Va., and Laura Argue near her home in South Mississippi.
Linda Best in Memphis and Annie Kate Gilbert in Dallas are just
" p l a y i n g ladies" and having lots o f f u n , whereas Bessie Masten is
digging away at the University of Chicago for her M . A . They were
a l l splendid, prominent girls and we feel their loss greatly, but
some o f us are f o l l o w i n g i n their steps—for instance Patty takes
Nan's place as president of the senior class. Both our juniors hold
class offices, several o f us are on the student committee and we are
well represented on the staffs of both the college publications.
