TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 255

Clinton, Ind., has never been noted for being very peaceable and that ia
the place where Hazel Hays is supervising art. She says there are fifteen
nationalities in their schools, but even if there are, her work Is extremely
interesting.

S00 E . Boone St., Frankfort, Ind., is the new address of Edna McClure
Forrest, and she has Ruth Little living with her in the new home. That
makes it seem like old times for the girls. Edna writes, "My housework
keeps me busy especially when I have a young miss slightly past two years
who has a very inquisitive mind as well as a very healthy body. The two
put together lead to much investigation with a resultant question in my
mind as to what next."

It is good to hear from Nelle Jean Ingersoll once more. She is a very
busy woman with a five year old son, Robert Jean. Nelle has enjoyed her
friendship with Iva Wark Chambers this winter and now Iva is moving to
Bloomfield, Ind., when school closes.

Maro Berk Merriman, who left Depauw during her college career and
graduated from Ohio Wesleyan, is intensely interested in the prospect that
sororities are to be installed at O. W. U. She hopes to visit there at Com-
mencement and see what is doing. Mr. Merriman is making quite a name for
himself in the educational circles of the state. Not only is he a County Super
intendent but he has become a member of the Educational Club of Indiana.

New York City life agrees with Ruth Stafford McDonald as she is able
to attend the Metropolitan and meet people of the literary circles. Her
daughter, Janet, is quite a big girl and is attending a private school. Mr.
McDonald is going to Europe in April and Ruth is very desirous that the
family be included.

Ruth Layne says the four Alpha O's in Wichita, Kansas, have been busy
this winter meeting together for ilinners and parties. They have been very
active in the Panhellenic which is doing work among children. In the winter
they gave a large bridge party which brought in a large return, and each
spring a carnival is given. Ruth is thinking some of a trip to Convention.

Allison MacLachlan Murphy writes that there are several Alpha O's in
Fort Wayne and that they have held a meeting to become acquainted and to
form an organization.

Agnes Largcnt is teaching Latin in the New Ross, Indiana, High School.
From her we learn that her sister, Grace, was married last June to George
Bradley, a Lambda Chi from Wabash. They are living in Sheridan, Indiana,
where Mr. Bradley is the athletic coach.

Helen Sutton Baney's letter about her visit with Mr. Baney's parents in
Greencastle during February is well worth copying. "Of course I was at the
House several times. I want to say that I think that the girls are A No. 1.
They are all so refined and polite to each other, as well as to outsiders.
Everywhere I went while in Greencastle I heard a good word for the Alpha
O girls. On Saturday evening the pledges entertained with a five course
dinner. Their entertainment was very clever. Imagine a five piece orchestra
among the pledges! Isn't that great? I am certainly proud of them."
