In spite of the very snowy winter, we have had some very enjoyable
meetings.

Our January gathering was with Edith Jordan Lord in Oldtown. With
the snow piled on both sides of the track so one could hardly see out in
places, five of us Bangor girls started on the trolley to Oldtown. What
should have been an hour's ride lasted two hours, but it was well worth it.
We had a delightful time and delicious "eats."

In February the annual active party was held in the home of Marian Day.
There were thirty-live members present. Bridge was enjoyed and, after
refreshments had been served, we gathered around the piano and had a
good old sing which reminded us older girls of our college days. We do
hope Marian will invite us again.

Our March meeting was to have been with Barbara and Lillian Dunn, but
Barbara has been very ill all winter, attended by a trained nurse. We are
very glad to hear she is much better and able to be out a little each day now.
Helen Dauforth West invited us to meet with her. There were twelve mem-
bers present and plans were discussed for raising money to send a delegate
to convention. It was decided to hold a series of food sales both in Bangor
and Oldtown. We hope to raise quite a bit this way. The question is: who
will be the lucky one? We all wish we might attend.

The all important topic among the Maine graduates Is the Gymnasium
Armory Drive as a war memorial. "Billy" Wright has been chosen head of
the women. I f there was ever a loyal alumnae, "Billy" surely is that one. She
is working hard and in spite of her small family she is giving a great deal
of her time to the cause. "Billy," we wish you the very best of luck.

Spring in Oregon! Sky like spring, grass like spring, air like spring!
And today is Lucile Lloyd's wedding day. We'll say that Lucile has good
taste in wedding days—and other things. Hasn't she picked California for
a wedding trip! (California papers please copy.) Congratulations and best
wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Kenneth Hood!

Spring in Oregon! And we have three new little Alpha O's to present
to you. Irma Horn Bywater and Nellie Higgens McKinley have each a
little daughter, born in the late fall. (Their announcements should have
gone into the February number). And in March, little Janet arrived at the
home of Louise Curtis Clawson.

Spring in Oregon! (if course, we do not claim that it has always been
spring here! Our February meeting was at Alice Collier Heilmau's and we
distinctly remember that it snowed because we spoiled our new suede shoes.
But it was a lovely luncheon. That is a little habit our luncheons have:
We can mark them all L . L . (lovely luncheon), G. T . (good time), and S. B.
(sewed busily).

Our March luncheon was at Mabel Hilstrom's at Vancouver, Washington.
It seems to us that it sleeted, but that is only important to the ones who
did not get there. W E got there and our report is marked L . L . , G. T., and
S. B. in capital letters.

Our April luncheon is to be downtown at the Sovereign Hotel and we
will sew afterwards at Edna Froyd's. Come!

And don't forget to look our chapter up if you travel our way (luting
the summer. You will hear from us again in the F a l l . But just now we
have to go out and work in our garden. It's S P R I N G in Oregon!
