Prouty Sutherland ('27), has just re-
turned f r o m her honeymoon. She and
Jim are living in a darling new bungalow
at 5109 Drew Avenue South. We'll need
Alva to bolster up our alumna? chapter
a bit, for T a u has been dealt a severe
blow—but not to get ahead of my story.
After October 1, we w i l l be addressing
Wilma Smith Leland ('25), at Menasha,
Wisconsin. Lee, her husband, has ac-
cepted a position as managing editor of
Banta's Greek Exchange and w i l l be a
member of the firm of the Banta Pub-
lishing Company. Besides editing T o

lected by the actives as their adviser for
this year. She and the actives had con-
ceived many fine ideas which were to
materialize this school year. So y o u see,
we're all going to miss her dreadfully.
I suppose, though, the only thing to do
is to ho'>e that they'll be very happy
in their new home. A n d we really do
hope this.
Prepare yourself for the next blow!
Betty Bond and Irene Fraser are leaving
for New Y o r k on September 18. Betty
is going to take a course in library work
there. I n October, Myrtle Abrahamson
is going to join them. She and Irene
are planning to work there. I just talked
to M y r t l e , and she thought it was going
to be a "lark." Wc think so, too—for
them. The loss of good material like
this just about makes i t necessary f o r us
to develop "dark horses" in order to
carry on this year. The popular "sun-
tan" may have to take on a darker hue
to be popular w i t h the Alpha O's these
winter months.
T w a s f r o m the Minneapolis Journal
that I gleaned this news of Harriet H o w -
ard's ('25), marriage to Lieutenant Roy
A. Gano of Pipestone. Thus reads the
item—"Mr. and Mrs. Gano motored to
Minneapolis and took the train to Gla-
cier National Park. Lieutenant Gano
sailed August 1 from Seattle on the
U.S.S. John D . Edwards for China where
he is to be stationed t w o and one-half
years. M r s . Gano will remain with her
parents until she receives her sailing
accommodations from Washington to
join her husband. Lieutenant Gano re-
ceived his commission from the Annapolis
Naval Academy in 1922." We know,
too, that Hazel Hitchcock ('28), was her
maid of honor. By the way, Hazel is
teaching physical education in the senior
high school at Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, ^
this year. [
