M i d - t e r m exams are upon us and everyone is studying hard. W e
have quieted down somewhat f r o m the gay life of the beginning of the
semester, f o r although rushing at C a l i f o r n i a is i n f o r m a l , s t i l l , it
keeps us busy. Most o f our rushing consisted of dinners, lunches,
and teas. However, the week before college opened we gave an
informal card party, and a still more informal picnic. We spent
the day in the Berkeley hills and everyone had great f u n , playing
ball, roaming about an o l d estate that has been allowed to grow
w i l d , and above a l l , eating the good things we had brought along,
f o r we were all mighty hungry after our walk.

The next week we tried a new plan for one of our dinners. I n -
stead o f one large table we sat about several small ones which were
placed in both the living-room and dining-room. A t the end of each
course the Alpha O girls got up and moved around to the different
tables, while the guests kept their places. T h e plan was very suc-
cessful and the tables looked very pretty with their shaded candles.
Besides that we had an i n f o r m a l dance, but rushing season is over
now and ten lovely girls have been added to our number.

Initiation was held September 8 and many of the alumni came back
to make the occasion a l l the happier.

At the senior banquet last May, Clara Hart, '15, announced her
engagement to Irving Magill and they were married early this fall.
Then this term when Kloise Forsythe, also '15, came back to college,
she made k n o w n her engagement to Harvey Burgland, * 2 K . A
few weeks ago, two of the girls gave a cup shower f o r Loi9 to
which the active girls were invited.

Not long ago the sophomores had a birthday party. Five of the
sophomore girls i n the house had their birthdays i n September so
we gave a f o r m a l dinner and dance, and as i t happened, we
were all just one year old in A l p h a O that night. We had dear little
Japanese place cards, a tiny red taper at each plate, and a birth-
day cake with sixteen red candles on i t . T h e n we had Japanese
lanterns hung out in the yard and it really was a very festive affair.

Many of the girls are on various committees, Sophomore H o p ,
