Chapter and was indispensable in helping Panhellenic relation-
ship to make its new and precarious way among the rapidly
increasing sororities. I n 1916 she received her Master of Arts
degree in German, but continued with the college until 1918,
when she went into the business world. She became connected
with the Plimpton Press of Norwood, Massachusetts. The press
plant was at that time practically given over to war work and
her executive ability soon made her head of the bandage depart-
ment, consisting of 150 women. That task of management i n -
volved more than directive force; her sympathetic disposition
stood her in as good stead as when the undergraduates needed
advice.

W i t h the cessation of war work, her ability was not for-
gotten; she was given charge of the planning room, and later
of the order department. This in turn, led into experience in
the sales office. W i t h that double equipment she was granted the
opportunity of organizing a new office, the purpose of which was
to link the sales and production department, and so give better
service to customers. Evidently the organization was a success
for June still holds the position and has not, as many women
who entered business during the war, proved a temporary stop
gap.

She has made a place in a big business which she is needed
to fill. So lovable a disposition combined with executive ability
will take one far. The best of luck to you, June!
