TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 173

formal reception was held, and "Edie" was overwhelmed with the
love and good wishes of friends and fraternity sisters. Punch, ice
cream and fancy cakes were served and Edie herself cut the huge
"bride's cake." Great was the suspense, as each g i r l received her
portion f o r this was no ordinary cake, I assure you. Buried some-
where i n its depths were the key to success, the pen of fame, the
magic penny, the wedding ring, and — O , horrors!—the much
dreaded thimble. Each " f i n d " was received with delight, until the
last piece was gone and the wedding r i n g was nowhere to be seen.
Each g i r l hastily examined her cake, but no one was the lucky owner
of the magic r i n g . Just as i t was given up i n despair, l i t t l e E d i t h
Robbins appeared w i t h the magic r i n g i n her hand. She had found
it in her cake and run slyly away to show i t to her mother.

Gamma certainly got her share of college honors this year. The
five new members of Phi Kappa Phi have been recently announced,
and among them are two Alpha Omicron Pi girls, June Kclley and
Helen Averill. N o w we have four girls in Phi Kappa Phi this year
and we feel very happy over it.

Spring is just beginning w i t h us, here i n Maine. Just now we are
enduring cold dreary days, w i t h snow and sleet in the morning, and
mud and slush at night. But a l i t t l e later, before the month is over,
spring w i l l come f o r t h i n a l l its glory o f bursting buds, flowers and
sunshine.

Gamma wishes to a l l her sister chapters the best of luck i n the
examination and a long and pleasant summer.

I t is difficult to write an intelligent chapter letter dealing with all
our activities, f o r the only topic of conversation now is our dance.
Next week, A p r i l 17th, we shall give our formal dance of the year
and we are hoping i t w i l l be very successful. A l l the sororities are
giving dances just now and the poor seniors are overworked keeping
up with their social duties.

Then there are other numerous activities that are engaging our
attention. I n a few weeks the Pan-Hellenic Association, w i t h Epsi-
lon holding the presidency, w i l l resume its meetings to draw up the
rushing contract f o r next f a l l . W e do not know as yet just what
k i n d of rules we shall have, but we hope f o r a less strict set than
those o f this year.

In dramatics, athletics, and scholastic lines we are well repre-
sented. Ruby 'Madsen, a sophomore, has the leading part i n the an-
nual university p l a y ; five o f our girls were on class basketball teams
