TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 267

May Ireland has the date all set for June 5th. Since her graduation at
the end of the first semester she has been teaching. We were all so proud
to learn that she had been awarded the Phi Beta Kappa key.

Helen Jenks Dietrick wrote a breezy little note saying that she appeared
at a benefit at the Times Square Theater on the same bill with Raymond
Hitchcock, Patriocola and Harry Carroll. This same group furnished the
music for the opening of an Inn in Hempstead, Long Island, January 1st.
She gave a Radio Program March 8th. Everybody tune in on the next one.
She is still studying with Edwin Hughes, one of the best teachers in New
York. For pin money and music lessons, she is Social Nurse to a group of
exclusive nose and throat specialists. Mr. Dietrick has just finished re-
hearsing John Murray Anderson's new musical comedy, "Jack and Jill."
That certainly sounds as though they were busy.

Helen Rhulaudt Cooney is attending the University of Colorado, working
for her M. A. in English Literature. Her husband, Paul, is in the Engineer
School, specializing in Construction Work. She writes that she has met
and made several friends through her Alpha O pin. She feels strongly the
splendid opportunity there for the entrance of Alpha O. Theta entered last
year.

Carol McDowell is still teaching in the Herrin, 111., high school. Herrin,
according to Carol, is not nearly so thrilling as the newspapers sound. She
teaches in the Miner's Night School. She says the men are so eager to learn
and are a splendid bunch to work with. She hopes to get back to K . U. for
Commencement.

Helen Gallagher teaches Public Speaking in the Keokuk, Iowa, high
school. She plans to attend the Annual Convention of the Drama League in
Iowa City the last of April.

Zolan Kidwell may bo addressed Box 262, Peoria, Arizona. She has
been teaching a Business Course in the high school. In the meantime, she
has had time to visit Mexico and the Grand Canyon. Marjorie writes that
she has l>ecome quite proficient on her violin and will teach in their "Studio."
We wish this studio were not going to be quite so far away from the rest of us.

Marjorie Kidwell MacMurray and her husband, Cooper, were on the
Chautauqua last summer playing Cappy Ricks. They plan to spend the
coming summer in Chicago where Cooper is interested in Airlox, a new solution
to prevent punctures. I am sure that all Alpha O's and their husbands will
be very much interested in the new product. While there Marjorie plans
to study dancing and pageantry at the Chicago Normal School, as preparatory
to starting a private studio. They spent this past winter touring Kansas
and Minnesota on Lyceum work under the Extension Division of the Uni-
versities of Kansas and Minnesota. She tells about riding in queer box-like
affairs with windows on runners with the temperature at 20 degrees below
zero. They plan to make their future home either in Los Angeles or Phoenix.
Temperature guaranteed mild!

Clarice Gardner is visiting friends at 172 N. Lima St., Sierra Madre, Calif.
She expects to spend some time in the west for her health. We hope she
takes time to look up some of the good Alpha O's out there.
