suit, with three varsity men. We will lose seven of our girls this year, and

altho we are proud of them, we will miss them.

Just now, Convention is the sole topic of conversation. We are all very

anxious for June to come, and are looking forward to meeting you all. Until

June, then— L U C Y MORRISON '25.

KAPPA—RANDOLPH-MACON

Perhaps it is still winter-time with you who are towards the north, but
with us, in Virginia, true spring has set in. A few warm, sunny days, and as

many misty, moisty ones, have brought out the green everywhere, so that
we are beginning to forget that winter ever was. It all means that it is
Springtime, almost summer—April, almost June. Convention! We are wait-

ing for Convention.

For Kappa, March the third was Pledge Day, when we pledged the seven
who had promised, and one other freshman, a splendid girl, whom we were

fortunate in getting. That night, at the Virginian Hotel, we had the annual
banquet, and a wonderful one it was, with its toasts and songs and red
candle-light.

Part of the elections for next year's college officers have been held, as a
result of which one of our present juniors, Lucille Lamar, is next year's senior
president, and nearly all of our freshmen hold class offices.

We hope that Mrs. Hennings is coming down to see us soon—and are
feeling proud and excited. Next week will be a wonderful one for us, if only
her plans do not change—and if anything happens to prevent her, we shall be
terribly disappointed.

Kappa sends best wishes to all the chapters, with high hopes of knowing

many of you in June. R O S E McC. SMITH.

ZETA—NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY

Convention Ho!! is the talk around here at present. Gladys Rice, our
newly elected president, will go as Zeta's delegate. But we're not planning
on her being the only one from Zeta. I f our plans materialize you'll prob-
ably see some of us "drivin' in" to Knoxville. I believe we're so enthused
because Mrs. Hennings told us what to anticipate. You know Mrs. Hennings
was here the first part of February. She helped us a mighty lot and the only
objection we can raise is that she didn't stay with us long enough.

We have two new pledges since the last espistle: Margaret Dow of
Omaha and Mildred Freas of Beaver City. We were mighty happy to pin the
ruby colored ribbon on them.

Dorothy Woodward writes from California that she is wearing an Acacia
pin. Hawley Barnard is the man. "Milly" and "Val" Hullinger announced
their engagements in the very cleverest way. The box of candy arrived—a
huge enameled tin box, but no card. I t was all we could do to eat; then be-
tween courses the candy was passed, and in the middle were two rather large
pieces of candy. Some one finally braved the jests and remarks about "being
so careful to pick the largest piece" and took one—well you know it proved
to be a litle box covered with chocolate and inside were the pictures of the
girls and the men, heart shaped pictures—"Milly" and Jimmy Fiddock,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and "Vail" and Fred Royce, Phi Delta Theta.

Being engaged though didn't seem to stop "Val" from going to Swarth-
more, Pa., as delegate to Mortarboard convention.

We have initiated ten freshmen and from the way they "stepped" after
receiving their pins they seemed to be proud.
