There has recently l>een organized in college a religious society
called Christian Guild. Dorothy Bartlett is vice-president and also
chairman of the Bible Study Committee and Alice Spear is chair-
man of the Social Service Committee.

One of the big events of the college year is Junior Day and we
are very glad that one of our girls, Ruth Penniman, is on the com-
mittee. She was also one of the stars in the junior play as was Etta
Phillips and Dorothy Bartlett.

T h i s year for the first time a prize was awarded for the best
thesis on an American history subject. We A O IT girls were very
proud of Alice Spear when Dean Davies announced in chapel that
she had won it.

And now mid-years are almost here so frivolities must be banished
from our minds and we must settle down to real studying.

We can hardly realize that it is almost time for our February T o
D R A G M A , for it seems but a few short weeks since we greeted with
joy our November number. How we enjoyed reading the letters
of our sister chapters. We feel much better acquainted with all, and
seem to have been brought in closer touch with every girl in A O IT
since reading them.

Gamma has been very quiet, socially, this fall, but we are now
planning to give a "rushing" party on Friday, January 5, while later
on comes our banquet and dance. There is a larger number of
girls than ever this fall, and some especially fine girls in the entering
class. It is very hard to choose girls for our new members for
there are so many whom we want. Our "rushing" party is an in-
formal, merry affair, just to give our freshmen a good time. At
first, planned to have a baby show, with the freshmen dressed up
as babies and the upperclass girls as nurse-maids, but we were
afraid that the little freshmen would think us undignified, so we
gave up that plan. We are now planning to have a jolly little
party with singing, playing games, and dancing.
