240 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

ALUMNAE CHAPTER LETTERS

(No letters from, Dallas, Kansas City, and Nashville. Fines due.)

NEW YORK ALUMNAE

After the long winter comes Spring—it has been a long and busy season.
Our reward was Mrs. Henning's visit.

Salome Schwertley Bratton, Zeta, was hostess in her home for the Feb-
ruary meeting. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon—the meeting followed by
tea and chatter. We miss the social part when meetings are held at the
University Club and so we are glad so many of our gatherings are in the
Alpha O homes.

Josephine Pratt entertained the alumnae chapter for the March meeting.
Another lovely hostess, she is. It was just at this time that several of our
members were ill with the "Flu." Katherilie Maclntyre, Iota, chose to be
different and was rushed off to the hospital for an operation. We are happy
to report her home and well again.

April 7th meeting was held in the home of one of our founders, Mrs.
Mullan. Can you guess why it was our best meeting this year? Mrs.
Hennings was our guest and Mrs. Mullan our hostess. It was indeed an
unexpected pleasure to have our Grand President conduct the ritual. It was
beautiful. Later Mrs. Hennings told us informally about chapters she had
visited so far on her trip. Hearing so directly about our girls so far away
brings a closer feeling all around. Of convention—Mrs. Hennings gave us
a delightful glimpse of the plans. We want to go more than ever now. At
this meeting the following chapters were represented: Alpha, Pi, Nu, Zeta,
Sigma, Delta, Epsilon, Rho, Tau, Chi. Upsilon, Psi, Omega, and Omicron Pi.

It is with regrets we hear that Carolyn Piper Dorr is moving, but we
wish her good luck in organizing an alumnae chapter in Buffalo.

To Mildred Loring Sylvester, as chairman of the Program Committee, the
New York chapter owes much. We are looking forward with pleasure to the
next benefit party Mildred is now preparing.

Hoping to see you at Convention, we send best wishes for the best con-
vention ever.

MARION R. BENNETT.

SAN FRANCISCO ALUMNAE

What more delightful way to usher in the spring season than by a card
party given for and by both Sigma and the Alumnae chapter, for the dual
purpose of getting more in touch with each other, and of gathering together a
few dollars to help buy needed furnishings for the chapter house. This
pleasant party took place on Saturday, the third of February, and was
followed the next Monday evening by the Birthday party, celebrating Sigma's
entrance into the Alpha O family. The Alumnae this year, supplied a great
want, by the gift of several table cloths.

The interest of every Alpha O is centered on the convention, and San
Francisco Alumnae is proud and delighted that it will be well represented at
Knoxville. Not only will Rose Marx, in her capacity of Extension Officer,
be there, but also Daisy Shaw, Sigma Chapter adviser and representative of
the Alumnae.

Acting upon the request of the Grand Council, officers for the ensuing
year have already been elected, and with the exception of two, remain as
last year. The entire group is as follows: President, Helene Collin; Vice-
President, Olive Freuler; Secretary, Rosalinda Olcese; Treasurer, Frances
