W DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI  235

Mariba Morse '26. and Virginia Wilson '26. We certainly have the njcest
freshmen on the hill. We gave our annual initiation banquet the next
evening at the Onondaga and many of our alumnae returned for the event.

      We are so proud of our new members. Jennie Gooding has been retained
as a regular reporter on The Daily Orange; Ruth Hawks received second
highest honors in the College of Home Economics; Winifred Riese is Presi-
dent of the Freshman class at Teachers' College. The other girls are busy
in Y. W. and W. S. G. A. and are doing big things. Mary Williams '25. was
elected Secretary and Treasurer of large board of \V. S. G. A. and we are
very proud of her.

      We are planning to have our formal April 21, at the Onondaga. Many of
the alumnae are coming back and our seniors will attend their last Alpha
Omicron Pi formal.

      Our Easter vacation began the 28th of March and ended April 5. We
were indeed thankful for a short respite from work. We have come back
with clearer thoughts all ready to begin intensive work for fraternity
exams.

      With what eagerness we are awaiting convention ! I wish that we could
all go. My, what a meeting we could have if all Alpha O's everywhere were,
to meet in one place. But would it not be fun?

      Several of our alums are going to France this summer to take up graduate
work at Sorbonne. Oh, to be a graduate and to be with them!

                                                                               H E L E N L . R O Z E L L '25.

                         UPSILON—UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

      Upsilon is happy to announce the pledging of Myrtis White '26, and
Susan Schofield '26, two wonderful freshmen.

      We are also glad to write of Hazel Turtle's engagement to Ray Davis.
Ray surely is a lucky man.

      Betty Riipe '23. who graduated at Christmas time, was married in
January to Walter Schneider. The reception was held here at the house
so it was a true Alpha O wedding. Also one of our alumnae, Beryl Dill,
was recently married and is now Mrs. Kneen.

      Upsilon boasts of another Varsity Debater as Adelaide Brown, a senior
made Varsity and won her first debate here at Washington. Upsilon is
very proud of Adelaide.

      Helen Welsh '25, has recently brought a great honor to our chapter.
Last week she was elected secretary of Women's Federation of the Uni-
versity of Washington. Now that all women's organizations on the campus
have been combined into one large body, we are very happy to have an
Alpha O filling an office in this Federation. Upsilon always expects big
things from Helen.

      We are now looking forward to the spring opera as several of our girls
will be in it and Helen Bechen has charge of the costumes.

                                                                                   H E L E N H E P L E R '23.

                  NU KAPPA—SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY

      Everyone is greatly excited over coming convention and the chance' of

meeting some of our other sisters.
      We are exceptionally proud that two of the recently elected officers of

the Women's Governing Board are Alpha Omicron Pi's. Robert Lindsey is
president and Katherine Price is vice-president. Algene Chiles is our fresh-
man representative.

   Since our last letter we wish to announce the pledging of Lois Turner,
of Dallas.

      Katherine Price is president of Trois Singes and Katherine Rasbury
is president of Swastika which are the only two inter-sorority social clubs
on the campus.
