242 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Our Februaiy meeting on March 3rd, following the Tufts Alumnae meet-
ing, was held in Packard Hall, on the Hill and the active chapter were our
guests. After Marion Jamieson Morrison and her committee had satisfied
our appetites, the social committee, Betty Sargent and Ruth Robinson, enter-
tained us with a regular hoodang, in the nature of a St. Patrick's party.
Games were played and prizes awarded. Great credit is due the committee
for the good time. With thirty three alumnae present I cannot enumerate
them all but we were happy to have Stella Wells from Rho with us again.
From 1900 to 1926 every class was represented. Don't you wish you'd been
there.

I expect every chapter has a memory book ready for Convention but—

well, Boston alumnae is getting one and at our last meeting we adopted

extreme measures to get those much sought pictures. Nobody ever remembers

to send in any so Dorothy Bartlett Buck just brought her camera along

and when you weren't looking she snapped you. Our meeting was at Dorothea

Cunningham's in Medford and as usual we had a splendid time. Marion

Bennett, Delta, '20, but now secretary of the New York Alumnae chapter called

on us as did Marion Hall Chandler with, young Mr. Chandler. The several

newly engaged girls present were busy at work while we older ones had

a talk fest. I t was so good to see Gertrude Symmes Nash and Frieda Farns-

worth, our treasurer, both of whom have not been out this winter. Rachel

Hall from Gamma chapter was present and several of the newer alumnae. The

chief topic of discussion, aside from the Jumbo bond compaign about which

all Tufts girls are interested, was Convention. We wish we might all go but

we hope to have at least one representative. Our best wishes to all the girls

attending Convention and we know what it means as so many of us were

fortunate enough to be present at Syracuse. A L I C E J . S P E A R , '12.

LOS ANGELES ALUMNAE

Spring has arrived early this year in Southern California and has given
us all '"spring fever." The weather has been wonderful and has called out
many Alpha O's to the meetings held in and around Los Angeles. Margaret
Pittman, our president, delightfully entertained us for the January meeting.
It was voted at the February meeting for the girls to entertain us in
alphabetical order, so that the entertainment and expense of the luncheon
would not always be borne by a few. I t was also voted to have our banquet
in April.

The banquet is to be carried out in radio terms. Our program will be
the outline of the four phases of national work which the fraternity as a
whole will discuss at convention. We hope to have a clever program and
one which will be "carried across" to those seated around the table. There
are seventy-five Alpha Omicron P i members in or around Los Angeles so
we should have a large attendance.

Some of our alumnae have been engaged in some very interesting work
Pegy Pittman is captain of one of twenty teams working to raise money for
the Studio Club. This is a club which houses girls working in any capacity
in the studios in Hollywood. At present only twenty can live in the club,
so, under the auspices of the Y . W. C. A., this drive began. Mrs. C. de Mille
is chairman. There is a daily luncheon to which the captains come and
give their reports. Some prominent persons are always there and give inter-
esting talks. Irene Castle, Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond and Charles Ray were
guests of honor lately. Mary Pickford and Gloria Swanson have each given
one thousand dollars which will build and furnish one room in the new
building which is to be built of stucco in Spanish design.

Alice Lorimer entertained twenty-three of the girls at the March meeting
and cleverly carried out the scheme of St. Patrick's colors in her luncheon.
