TO PRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 171

THETA, DEPAUW UNIVERSITY

T h e last few weeks Theta has been busy planning f o r the F o r m a l
which was given the 16th of March. This year we gave a dinner.
The menu and decorations were in keeping with St. Patrick. The
candle shades and holders and also the shamrocks we made. Flags
and green carnations were also used in the decorations. Place cards
were green leather shamrocks. There were eighty at the dinner.
A n orchestra from Indianapolis furnished the music. A l l the appoint-
ments were perfect and every one said that the dinner was the most
b r i l l i a n t success of the social affairs.

Three of our girls were back f o r the dinner. Mrs. Arthur
Lesemby of Terre Haute, Lura Davis and Lenora Bonem.

On Monday evening M a r c h 18 we gave a dance. Four girls
f r o m each sorority were invited. T h e invitations and dance pro-
grams were in keeping with St. Patrick.

On Saturday March 23 we gave a reception. The guests at this
included the faculty and town people.

DELTA, JACKSON COLLEGE

Mid-years have passed successfully and athletics is the burning
question. The seniors won the championship in basketball which
means that two o f our seniors w i l l soon wear white sweaters with
blue "J's." The captains of the other three class teams are a l l A O
IT's and Gertrude Hooper is captain of her track team as well.

Rehearsals every day tell us that i t is almost time f o r the operetta.
Last year Jackson gave "Jack and the Baked-Bean Stalk" in which
Etta had the leading part. T h i s year i n "The Rose and the R i n g "
three of our girls are soloists. Mary Kingsley '03 wrote the words
for the music which Mrs. Lewis, the wife of Prof. Leo R. Lewis,
composed. They are coaching the operetta which w i l l come off
M a y first and second. Frances H u n t i n g t o n is business manager and
Pearle Longley property manager for the performances. We wish
that many of our sisters might be in Boston to enjoy it w i t h us.

Delta has had only one social gathering since her last letter, al-
though there are many good times coming. I n February we had a
joint meeting of active and alumnae girls at Isabel Owler's. Gladys
K e i t h , one of our talented freshmen read and E t t a sang . I t seems
good to see the o l d girls back again so we spent most of the time
talking. A f t e r the "eats" we a l l sang songs.

Monday night we were most fortunate in having Mrs. Farmer
w i t h us again. She talked w i t h us i n " f r a t " meeting and then Dean
Davies spoke on "Enthusiasm" at our monthly literary meeting.
