Eta Entertains at Homecoming Tea
By S A R A H R O G E R S , University of Wisconsin
We began the first semester w i t h a
good start by giving a tea, two dinners,
a luncheon, a tea dance, and a formal
dinner party as our rushing functions,
and the day of pledging found Eta chap-
ter increased by the following new
pledges: Florence Alwart ('35), Chi-
cago; Barbara Buell ('34), Aurora, 111.;
Inez Burt ('35), Chicago; Marion Doug-
lass ('33), Madison; Charlotte Goedde
('35), E . St. Louis, 111.; Audrey Harris
('33), Cuba City, Wis.; Eleanor Hoehn
('35), Downers' Grove, Wis.; Octavie
Sanche ('35), Wausau, Wis. Later we
pledged Elizabeth Osborne ('34), f r o m
Memphis, Tenn., and Lillian Amend
('35), Beloit, Wis.
This year at our rose tea dance and
at the formal party one of our advanced
freshmen, Hazel Kramer ('34), from St.
Louis, sang several songs, and her lovely
"blues" voice surely made an impression
on our rushees. Quite recently we have
had more cause to be proud of her since
she has begun singing on the student
programs over the University radio sta-
tion, as well as f r o m the broadcasting
station owned by Madison's two news-
papers. A t Hallowe'en time, we had an
informal party in honor of our pledges.
As well as being proud of the new girls,
we were quite pleased w i t h the festive
decorations f o r the dance, f o r the candles
in the pumpkins surely cast an eerie and
convincingly ghostlike light about the
rooms. That same night, after our guests
had left, we popped corn and ate pump-
kin pies and told ghost stories. On De-
cember 4, we had our first formal dance,
and the lighted Christmas tree, the
wreaths, and mistletoe filled us all w i t h
the Yuletide spirit.
