MA D A M E Chairman, I move that the secretary cast a unanimous
ballot for the election of Elizabeth Heywood Wyman to the Grand
Presidency of Alpha Omicron P i " — " I second the motion." Another
moment and a chorus of "ayes" acclaimed our long-loved Bess W y -
man our pilot for the next two years. She had resigned as Registrar
m May expecting to rest from active fraternity work for a year or so, but
to convention delegates, her resignation f r o m the office which bound her
to Hloomfield meant that she was free to lead the f r a t e r n i t y as Grand
President. We needn't tell you how fortunate we are to have such a
president—she has been so close to the progress of Alpha Omicron Pi since
Its inception that she has rich experience to offer us. Her k i n d l y under-
standing and quick sympathy have carried her into the hearts of all who
know her. And best of all—you may look forward to seeing her in per-
" i i some time during her term of office, for she intends to visit every ac-
tive chapter and no doubt the alumna? chapters, too. Miss Wyman is the
, rd Founder to be elected Grand President. Mrs. Perry and Mrs. M u l -
'an have served in that capacity.

Ine Executive Committee has as its other two members women who

ave been in office for the past biennium or a large share of i t . K a t h r y n

Bremer Matson ( T a u ) , will handle the financial affairs of the fraternity

gain. The Grand Secretarv is Edith Huntington Anderson (Beta Phi).

latf .r e m ember that E d i t h was appointed after Joanna Donlon Hunting-

n s resignation soon after the 1927 convention. Both Edith and K a t h -

t h e m ^ l y6 u n a m m o u s elected; their work of the past two years proved
