238 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Although so many things are on file at present, still we have not for-

gotten Convention at Whittle Springs. We have been saving our pennies all

winter and we are hoping to have at least a 50 per cent representation from

the active chapter. E T H E L B. BOARDMAN.

PHI—UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Since our last letter lots of things have happened. First, May Ireland left
us, but before leaving she told us that she was to be married June 5th. She
is now teaching in Parker, Kansas, and has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
We are all so proud of May.

Our formal which was on February 2nd was a huge success, for several
alumnae came to make it a true Alpha O party.

The Wednesday after our formal, Charlotte Uhls brought Mrs. Hennings
over from Kansas City. On Friday afternoon, we gave a reception for our
Grand President, and that evening initiation was held for Elizabeth Bolinger,
Nellie Johnson, Fiances Ringle, Louise Clark, Velma Christopher and Valborg
Swenson. Some of our alumnae were back to help us as usual. Mrs. Hennings
had to leave us on Saturday in order to visit the Zeta girls. All of you
who know Mrs. Hennings can realize how much we enjoyed her visit.

Mary Hook, former Editor to To Dragma, left us several weeks ago to
take a position as secretary to a Congressman from Kansas. She will leave
for Washington, D. C soon.

The Oread Magazine, one of our Campus periodicals, published a story
written by Mary Rose Barrons in its March Issue. Another honor was con-
ferred upon Mary Rose last week, when she was elected Vice President of W.
S. G. A.

We have entered the Inter-Sorority Basketball tournament which starts
next week, and we hope to come out with a cup, for Glee Starr played for-
ward on the Sophomore first team, Betty Bolinger, jumping center on the
Freshman first team, and Eva Druinm was the fast guard on the Sophomore
second team.

We are feeling vtery proud just now of Hazel Dugger, who gave her
graduating recital in piano last week; of Alida Braucher, who has just
pledged P i Lambda Theta, and of Freda Backeberg, who is a pledge of Delta
Phi Delta, national Art Sorority. Margaret Bolinger surprised us the other
day by announcing her marriage to Leonard Isern, P i Kappa Alpha.

OMEGA—MIAMI UNIVERSITY

Omega girls are back after a short but happy spring vacation to begin
work on the last lap of the year with pep and enthusiasm. Everything has
started off with a bang, bringing Alpha O one election and three appointments
to Y . W. cabinet.

But before I become too enthusiastic over the present and our h o
for the next four months you must know what happened to us o.
vacation. One of the happiest events was Mrs. Hennings' visit. It came
during exam week when all of us could not be with her as much as we
would have liked, but those who did get to know her well benefited greatly,
and we all enjoyed her only too-short stay.

Next in order after grades came out was initiation. We were fortunate
in being able to take eight girls through. The banquet at the University
Commons was splendid, and the whole day was wonderfully impressive.
We had over twenty alums back and that in Itself is a good reason for
celebrating. The next morning we all tripped gayly to church, the freshmen
sporting their shining new pins and large corsages of red roses! After the
