TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI S3

Miss Safford's visit to Gamma last May has not yet been reported.
We had a most delightful time and all fell i n love with our Grand
President. Some of our girls went i n to Bangor one Tuesday even-
ing to meet Miss Safford and escort her out to the house. The next
afternoon at the home of the Russell girls we held an alumnae meet-
i n g and sewed and talked o f many A O I I affairs. I t was so inter-
esting to hear Miss Safford tell of the girls in the other A O I I chap-
ters and what they were doing. Thursday evening a reception was
held at the M t . Vernon House i n honor of Miss Safford. I t was on
the next night that the big event of the year for Gamma girls took
place. T h i s was our annual dance which he had been looking f o r -
ward to f o r months. Cherry blossoms made the rooms attractive
and red rose shades softened the brightness of the electric lights.
Outside on the long piazza Japanese lanterns were hung. We a l l
enjoyed the evening immensely and were so g l a d that Miss Saf-
f o r d could be w i t h us. T h e next afternoon Maine won the State
Meet, owing, we thought, to Miss Safford's presence and enthusiasm.
Sunday we waved her good-bye w i t h tears i n our eyes and a lone-
some feeling i n our hearts.

Four of Gamma's members, Alice Harvey, Mary Russell, Luzetta
Stearns, and Antoinette Webb graduated from Maine last June.
We are delighted that T o n y can s t i l l be w i t h us and be present at
our meetings. She is w o r k i n g f o r her M . A . degree here at Maine
and is teaching Freshman English.

A picnic was held this summer by the A O I I girls around Bangor.
The idea came to T o n y and Estelle who thought it a beautiful one.
So they sent notices to a l l the girls i n and around Bangor announc-
ing a picnic. On the morning appointed the girls met at the car
station and rode to Riverside. There they had a very enjoyable
time, eating their lunch and exchanging news of absent Gamma
girls.

Gamma chapter extends its best wishes f o r a successful year to
all the other chapters.
