SIGMA—UNIVERSITY OP CALIFORNIA

The opening of college was followed by a week's rushing, after which we
pledged three new freshmen and have since pledged two others. Different
from previous semesters we have been having rushing parties throughout the
semester and feel it will mean greater success with next year's rushing.

With Blanche Ewing as president, we have had a very happy semester.
On February 16 we had an informal dance and are looking forward to April
20 when we will have our formal.

We celebrated the chapter's birthday, February 6, with a party with the
alumnae. Each class gave a stunt. The Seniors took the prize when they
appeared as ex-soldiers, having been cripples in the many wars of college;
one was crippled in the war of finals, another in the battle of study table,
and another in the battle of two o'clock rule. The Juniors were by no means
backward when they pictured many of the girls ten years from now. The
Freshmen and Sophomores still have time to show their genius.

Besides Zoe King and Anita Avila, Helen Barry has become .a member of
Prytannean Honor Society. I may also say that Zoe King has been president
of Prytannean this past semester and now has been succeeded by Anita Avila,
who has so successfully managed all dancing parts for Parthenaia.

On the last lap of the year 1922-23—with what a variety of emotions do
we meet it! A number, no doubt, think of it with gladness and relief; but for
some of us—the five Seniors In particular—it is a sorrowful thought. We
hate to think of next year when we shall no longer be in the chapter but be
of the alumnae instead.

The University has been the scene for a number of interesting occurrences
within the last two months. First there was an immense historical pageant
celebrating the eighty-fifth birthday of DePauw, followed by a drive for a
million and a half dollars endowment. At the end of the first day the students
were found to have subscribed 100 per cent. The next thing of interest was
the annual W. S. G. A. Circus, an extremely clever and successful affair; the
main show was planned and conducted by two of the sisters: Geraldine Can-
Held and Margaret Safford. Following this was the Gym Exhibition, con-
sisting of various stunts by the physical training classes of both men and
women. The only individual feature of the exhibit was a bit of interpretive
dancing by our own May Elizabeth Davies. Later a dance was given by Pan-
hellenic Council for all the organized girls in school for the purpose of help-
ing to bring the girls of different sororities closer together for better friend-
ship and understanding. This was quite an event, for regular dancing is
strictly taboo here.

Margaret Safford was recently honored by being elected the delegate to
the Theta Sigma Phi Convention in Oklahoma the latter part of this month.
She has also been made Publicity Chairman on the W. A. A. Board. Geraldine
Oanfleld has been elected our chapter's representative to the National Con-
vention this summer. Accompanying her will probably be Margaret and
