Delta has recently made her annual con-
tribution to the Birmingham Commun-
ity Chest.
Everyone had a fine time when Louise
Stange ('35), entertained the chapter at
her home Hallowe'en night. The bridge
games were pleasantly interspersed by
pranks, both expected and unexpected.
None, however, were more unexpected
than the so-called spaghetti spree that
K a t h r y n Moser ('34), took us on the
following week.
Founders' Day was celebrated by the
annual candlelight service in which the
Birmingham alumna? acted as hostesses.
Tau Delta has served supper in the
room, every other Wednesday night
since the first of September. Part of the
time at such meetings is spent in learning

U.C.L.A. We were well represented this
fall in Freshman Orientation. This speaks
well for the interest in activities in our December 11 at the Riviera Country
chapter. Betty Bradstreet ('34), was on
the U.C.L A. archery team that competed
against thirty-five universities of the
country to win the national archery con-
test. The annual all-university women's
splash was held at the Miramar Beach

Hallowe'en was celebrated by a hard-

stalks, lanterns, doughnuts, and apples,
plus the oddest looking costumes, helped
to make this a most enjoyable evening.
The Monday night preceding Christmas

an open house w i t h tea f r o m four to six

all the girls together more often and have
become very popular on the campus.
We are very proud to say that six of
our girls were named in the twenty most

three winners. Our six are Anita Wadling-
ton, who was in the beauty section of the
Annual last year, Christine Gilmore,
Peggy Walker, M a r y Fay, Margaret L a l -
lichet, and Marie Louise Trigg.
The Founders' Day banquet on De-
cember 8 was one of the best we have
ever had. I t was at the Parkview Hotel,
and over sixty attended. We all joined
in singing several of the songs, and after-
wards the pledges entertained us w i t h an
amusing stunt. The table was beautifully
decorated with ferns and red carnations.
Along the table were tall red candles, and
a place card and program in red and
white.
We are planning to take care of a poor
family Christmas.
A f t e r closing hours, our pledges proved
themselves entertaining hostesses at a
fireside.
