TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 175

We have just had our week of spring vacation. Before that was
a very successful junior week, in which we were well represented;
on committees by Helene Montague and Lois W a l t o n ; and the
opera by Madge Kemp, Louise Curtice, and Reba Bland (our new-
est member.) N a t a l i e Ferand '11 has been spending several weeks
with us, and we are looking f o r w a r d to having Marguerite K n o x
' 11 soon. Kate Foster has come and gone once again, and we sur-
vived our examination, at the same time e n j o y i n g her visit.

A t present our underclassmen are busy planning f o r their dance
on A p r i l eleventh. T h e f o l l o w i n g week is the S t a n f o r d - C a l i f o r n i a
track meet, and we are looking for a good many Sigmas then. A f t e r
that final examinations are only a few weeks off, and senior week f o l -
lowing. Chettie Nesbitt and Sheda bowman are on committees here.

Last but not least is the pleasant week-end the freshmen re-
ported having spent at the Sigma house. The San Francisco alumnae
entertained Sigma and Lambda freshmen there, following which
Sigma gave Lambda Freshmen a dance.

Lambda wishes a l l her sister chapters a pleasant summer and a
successful college year.

I o t a has been very successful this year. W e captured six splendid

Freshmen d u r i n g rushing season and our share was as good as any-

body's or at least we think so. Since then Inez Downing who gradu-

ated f r o m Drake last year and is getting her masters degree at

Illinois this year, has become one of us.

We have also had the good fortune to initiate Lora B . Henion

A . M.—a member of the English faculty. We certainly were for-

tunate i n getting one so loyal and f a i t h f u l and yet so "wise and

learned."

W e l l we are proud that we won the "Roast contest" at Illinois

this year. Perhaps you don't know what this means. Every year

the Illio board offers a prize to the sorority who w i l l hand in the
