PRESIDENT'S GREETING

LILLIAN MCCAUSLAND

TO every girl in Alpha Omicron Pi I wish to send a word of
personal greeting. I have not undertaken the duties of the
presidency with any exaggerated idea of my own importance QOr with
any delusion as to my ability. I realize my shortcomings and 1 ask
you all to help me by cooperating, for, after all. it is by united effort
that the real enterprises of the world are accomplished. This is the
feeling I want to arouse, the incentive to "get together," the spirit of
true; fraternity. The officers of our organization are in their various
positions to carry out the desires of the members ; and by "members"
I mean you and you and you. To do this, it is necessary that they
know what you desire. I want every girl to feel that she is doing
me a favor when she sends in a suggestion, when she asks a question,
when she makes a constructive criticism, when she shows me by this
that she is actively interested. We are a body of women with many
and diverse vocations and avocations, but with one tie in common.
The mere fact of this should spur us on to give of our best to it,
not as officers and non-officers, but as sisters in Alpha O, with one bond
peculiarly near to us all. As we have lived and hoped and feared
through the years of the world-struggle, now mercifully past, let us
now look forward to the reconstruction period of happiness, joy, and
hope, with the underlying principle of our fraternity for inspiration.
