232 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

M Club Minstrel show. We are to give a stag dance in the gymnasium to

raise money for the house fund on the afternoon of April 19.

During the recent Memorial drive, the pledges made by our girls averaged

very favorably with those of other fraternities. The student body succeeded

in raising the quota of one hundred thousand dollars. Ruth Savage has been

elected as our convention delegate and we are very sure that you will all

think she is a splendid choice. MOLLY PERKINS.

The most important event of which I have to tell you was initiation. On
February 17th our five pledges donned the pin and we celebrated with our
usual banquet in the "Dutch." Betty Neely '19 came back to act as Toast-
mistress and Lydia Godfrey '21 to speak for the alumnae. We certainly
were glad to have them with us again. A surprise feature came after the
speeches—a song written by Alice Green to the tune of Cornell, and
rendered by Martha McCormick. Both the words and the singing were well
calculated to imbue the listeners with a deeper realization of the spiritual
meaning of Alpha Omicron PI.

A few weeks after initiation we pledged May Eisemann '26.

At the W. S. G. A. elections this year Alpha Omicron PI came off with
no less than three offices. Anita Goltz being elected President of Risley,
while Hilda Wilson and Frances Eagan were made presidents of the junior
and sophomore classes, respectively.

Another event which certainly deserves mention here was the freshman
play in which Johanna Buecking starred. So excellent was her portrayal
of the Toymaker of Nuremburg in the play of that name, that two columns
in the Sun were devoted to her praises. Frances Eagan and Charlotte Teeple
also had important parts in the play.

If the happiness of children is measured by the noise they make then
the chapter certainly succeeded in givins the Settlement House kiddies a
happy Easter party on the afternoon of March 3lst.

Two days, or rather nights, later, came the sleep distracting antics of
the Junior nonoraries. On Easter Monday morning at 3 a.m. Marion Mac-
beth and Hilda Wilson were roused from their slumbers and carried off by
the Ravens and Serpents, and I can assure you we are mighty proud of
them for being thus disturbed.

Several of its are looking forward eagerly to the time when we will

start for Whittle Springs. CATHARINE CAMPION.

Now that it is April, it seems that our newest sisters, those who were
initiated on March 2, have been within the bonds always; but we have uot
quite got over being proud of the fact that so many of them made their
grades. They are: Bernice Anderson. Marie Dolf. Agnes Eiberg, Eleanor
Goodrich. Lucile Hurley, Ruth Jndson, Eselwyn Larson. Margaret Mackay,
Marion Rogers, Dorothy Scharf, Dorothy Spiers and Julia Thompson. I n -
itiation banquet was held on the evening of the 2nd at the Evanston Hotel.
Everyone felt so gay that we had toasts from all the alums present, including
Dot Crugar Williams, who has been Mrs. Williams since December.

We also have a new pledge, Margaret Tawes, who certainly is a willing
help to us in everything we do.

Our formal dance this year was on March 9th. For weeks we worked
on decorations, under the supervision of our foremost artist, Dot Poole—
and thej- really turned out to be gorgeous. They are being used now by
several other organizations.
