254 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

SIGMA

After a long and delightful visit with the many Signias about the bay,
Elizabeth Elliot Foster has left for her home in Norfolk, Virginia, where
her husband, L i e u t Thad Foster, is now stationed. F o r the past two years
the Fosters have been in Honolulu, and are anticipating their new post with
much pleasure, They are going Fast by way of the Panama Canal, and will
stop in New York and Washington before becoming permanently settled.

Mrs. Coin Per In (Dorothy Weeks), who has been in the Hawaiian Islands
for some time past, is contemplating a visit home in June, much to the
delight of her family and friends.

It is rumored that Ruth Brownlie Dickson is at home in Vallejo, planning
a long visit with her mother and family, before returning to her own home
in Berwick. Pennsylvania. We all hope to see something of her and her wee
daughter while she is in California.

It will be a matter of deep regret to those of Sigma who know Florence
Alvarez, to learn that her mother passed away in Los Angeles, on March 19th.
Mrs. Alvarez was one of the first and dearest of the Alpha O and Sigma
mothers, and greatly loved and admired by all who knew her.

Sigma cannot fail to acknowledge and appreciate the exceedingly cordial
and delightful reception accorded Harriet Fish Bacchus during her stay in
Milwaukee last year, by the only Alpha () there, Freda Pfallin Dorner (Mrs.
Fred H.l of Theta chapter. By her great courtesy and real Alpha O spirit,
Mrs. Dorner had made all of us who have heard of her, feel that she is a
true friend and sister.

THETA

Every one of Theta's ahrtnnao is hoping that she may attend Convention
so (hat we may have a regular reunion as well as make new friends.

The three prospective nurses, Louise Hauck, Mary and Edna Bickneli,
write that they are very much interested in their work in the Presbyterian
Hospital in Chicago. Edna has recently made a visit to home folks in
Greencastle and to Theta chapter.

Olive Brain Wrightson is still a very busy woman, mothering her sister's
family and being President of a Missionary Society. She hopes to attend
Convention with four others from Omaha.

Ann White is in Ames, Iowa, working on her Master's degree in Chem-
istry and also doing some teaching. The Alpha O's in Indianapolis are
finding Ann's place hard to fill but they know that it is just the thing for Ann.

After spending some time in the went Xelle Foster has returned to her
native heath. She is located at 179 Kilgore Ave., Muncie, Ind., and is teaching
in the Central High School. She has enjoyed being with Florence Hughes,
Mary Kibele and Hazel McCoy Greeley, as well as the Alpha O's from other
chapters living in Mnncie. From Nelle. we learn that Florence Fields of
Bluffton, who has been in poor health for a long time, is recovered.

Ethel Tillett Walker is living at 19G Grafton Ave., Newark, N. J . She
has two daughters. Rosemary and Betty Ann. Ethel has joined the Essex
County College Club of New Jersey, which has for its goal the offering of
scholarships and the furthering of college ideals.

The Alpha O's in Michigan City seem to keep in close touch with each
other. Early in March Clara Dills visited Frances Kelly, who is teaching
there and they all enjoyed a luncheon at Jessie Bickneli Crimans. Mr.
Criman8 is a Boy Scout Official and the reports of his work that Jess gives
to us are especially interesting. Luclla Worthley Boonstra, who -was married
earlier in the year, has moved into her new home on the beach of Lake
Michigan across from her mother. Mr. Boonstra is an architect.

Nina Maple Bell has also moved into a new home, a brick colonial house
in the suburbs of Gary, 1432 Jefferson St.
