234 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

the Episcopal Students' Conference of the Mississippi valley in Chicago,
April 7-8 and was a speaker there.

The newly appointed Y. W. C. A. first cabinet includes Gladys Hall
'24, and Veta Holterman '24, and the second cabinet Louise Adams. Gladys
Hall is also a member of the executive committee for the annual Y . W.

nament until the semi-finals and then succumbed to the strong Loki group.

Mildred Lantz '23. has been elected to Alpha Sigma Nu. honofary
athletic organization. Dorothy Dickinson '25. and Betty Renuen '26, are
on the Daily Illini staff and Cora Jane Stroeheker '24. has been made Junior

Agnes Fuller Ward '21, with young Jack Fuller AVard, dropped in to
see us recently. He'll make a splendid Alpha Omicron Pi fiance sometime!

TAU—UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
To begin the spring quarter with two feet of snow on the ground has
rather made us lose our enthusiasm for all the things we were going to do
this quarter. It has, on the other hand, whetted our enthusiasm for con-
vention, for if there is anything we would rather have now than some nice
warm weather, and a swimming pool with a lot of Alpha O s splashing
about, I don't know what it is. We are forgetting the weather, though,
in our preparations for the benefit bridge which we are to give on April
28, to raise money for our delegate. Mrs. Hennings. made convention seem
so vital and interesting that we hope there will be a large representation
there from Tau.

Several of the girls are now flaunting fraternity pins. They are: Mar-
garet Borum, engaged to Clair St. John, Delta C h i ; Margaret Wilson to
Henry Bjorndahl, Psi Omega, and Wilma Arnold to Donald Westcott. We're
anxiously awaiting the fifteen pounds of candy, and rather suspect that
there will be even more.

There have been a lot of things happening since last To Dragma. We
pledged Bonita L a Favan, and, as she made her grades, she will be initiated
very soon. She is taking Art, is very active in college activities, especially
athletics, so we are fortunate in getting her. Hazel Hitchcock made Aquatic
League and Irma Fliehr is in charge of stunts for Theta Epsilon. Wilma
Arnold, Senior, made P i Lambda Theta. national honorary education. Mar-
garet Borum is on the general arrangements committee for the Senior prom,
the last big formal of the year. Four of our girls are contestants for Vanity
Fair, beauty section of the Gopher: they are, Rita Heggerty '23, Dorothy
Hill '24, Margaret Borum '23, and Irma Fliehr '24.

"Connie" Coulin. teaching at Willmar, came to see us during her vacation

and her interesting reports form at least some* consolation to the twelve

of us who have to graduate this year. We don't want to go at all.

Don't three months seem like ages, when we're waiting for Conven-

tion? M I N N I E HANSON '23.

CHI—SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
Chi is especially happy to announce the formal initiation of her pledges
Friday, March 16, at the chapter house. Our new members are: Jennie Good-
ing '25, Ruth Hawks '26. Gertrude Baumhart '26. Winifred Riese 26,
