a whole. She is president of the Y . W . C. A., a member of the H o n o r Council,
and a student assistant in English, was elected to A l p h a Theta Phi, our local
honorary scholarship fraternity, founded by Phi Beta Kappa members among
the faculty. She has never made less than A in any subject.

Her last summer's vacation was spent in Chicago doing social service work
in connection with H u l l House. And, speaking of up-lift work, we must not
forget to mention her influence on the Faculty Bachelors' Club!

EMMA McCLAIN

BETA P H I

When Beta Phi first heard of Emma McClain, it was like this, "That good
looking g i r l who always carries a violin under her a r m " ! When we first enter-
tained her, we found that her talents were not limited to that of a violinist.
She was still a pledge when those talents began to be o f service to A l p h a 0 .
There was the tea which we gave f o r Mrs. Stewart, when she visited us, where
Emma furnished the musical background f o r conversation the whole afternoon.
Then there were her three years as a violinist in the University orchestra.

F r o m her freshman days she has been very much interested i n athletics and
gymnasium w o r k ; so she was able to carry off the honors of her gymnasium
class and thus became a member of the Woman's Athletic Association. One
year she was the chapter representative on the Woman's League Board and two
years, representative to the Panhellenic Association, holding chairmanships of
important committees i n both.

One of her chief ambitions has always been to be a newspaper reporter.
First she was a successful reporter on the staff of the Indiana Daily Student,
the university paper, f o r two years. Then, she has continued her work as a
reporter, first, with her home town paper and later w i t h the Indianapolis News
and the Louisville Courier-Journal, d u r i n g her summer vacations. But we're
all predicting that her career in newspaper work is likely to be rather broken
into, by a certain, very tall, Sigma N u from Chicago; but who knows?

For the chapter, she has held the office of treasurer and now is our president.
It's her charming personality, I think, that makes us—not only Alpha O's, but
every one who knows her—love her.

GARNET KLEVEN

ETA

Garnet Kleven of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, was chosen by Eta as the most
influential senior in the chapter. She was chosen on the basis of participation
in college activities, womanliness and character, and in chapter loyalty.

When we want anything done which takes judgment and executive ability to
carry out the project we make Garnet chairman and then all w i l l be O.K. A t
present she is handling the work which has to be done i n the b u y i n g of our
house. U n t i l the time when she entered upon the house financing work, she was
doing fine work as corresponding secretary but she resigned i n order that she
might take better care o f our latest and most important plan.

Garnet is known around the campus as one of the literary lights. For two
years she was a member of the daily paper staff, first reporter and then assistant
woman's editor. She contributed to the literary magazine and worked on the
Wisconsin Year Book. I n her sophomore year she was awarded h i g h scholastic
honors and was elected into Beta Chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national honor-
