Oiif hundred and fifty-six delegates and visitors gathered in Iran! of h'is'ey H.ill so that you . onld t

y o u might each see i t someday. T h e great hall i n W i l l i a r d Straight was
the scene of the story-telling. M r s . Perry found a rocking chair and re-
minisced. Convention wouldn't be complete without hearing about our
founding, how Pi chapter came and all the other stories dear to our
hearts.

On Sunday night N e w Y o r k Alumna; were hostesses at supper after
which there was informal entertainment in the parlors. " S i d " Hansen
(Epsilon), led the singing. Joanna Huntington (Epsilon), sang about
the poor working girl, Gladys H i n m o n (Omicron P i ) , told one of her
children's stories, Frances Eagan ( E p s i l o n ) , enacted a scene f r o m The
Road to Rome, Rose Bell told us about the mother who got her young
son ready f o r dancing school, and Hanna Blair Neal (Beta P h i ) , sang
for us. I t was such a friendly, cozy evening.

Installation of officers took place on Monday afternoon and the ban-
quet that evening. The handsome Gothic Memorial Hall in Willard
Straight was a proper setting for that loveliest of banquets. The oak
paneling reflected the flame of the white tapers. The service stars on
the great flag above the doors twinkled i n their light. T h e chimes i n the
Library Tower marked the passing of the minutes. I t was indeed w i t h
bated breath that the banqueters waited for Mrs. Perry to award the
Jessie Hughan Cup. The N u chapter girls were almost too surprised
to claim i t when they found it to be theirs. T a u chapter was a close
second to N u , and M r s . Perry gave them an autographed copy of the
The Defenders. Miss W y m a n announced the T o D R A G M A prizes.
