TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 123

while competing at the National Woman's Swimming Association Meet in
Detroit, Michigan, she captured the 880-yard swim in the fast time of 12:33,
defeating her closest rival by several lengths. In the same meet she also
broke the mile record, finishing in 26:33 seconds. She accumulated the
highest number of points in the meet, earning for herself the title of the
All-American All-Around Woman Swimming Champion which was formerly
held by Miss Helen Wainright.

Not satisfied with these honors she later entered another meet of the
Association at Long Beach, and took over the title of the Champion Long
Distance Woman Swimmer of America by finishing the three mile course
in one hour and five minutes, shattering all former records.

Miss McGary is also a member of the Women's Collegiate Champion-
ship relay team, which won so many honors for New York University lait
year. Although only a Sophomore, Miss McGary is the Captain and Mana-
ger of the Girl's swimming team in New York University, and Secretary of
the League of Women of Washington Square College.

This stellar swimmer is a product of Evander Childs High School, com-
ing here in 1924. She is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority and takes
part in all social activities for women in Washington Square. She has
served as alternate swimmer on the United States Olympic team.

Miss McGary, as Captain of the Women's Swimming team of N. Y . U.
is very anxious to meet any women who have any inclination at all to
make the team.

KOREAN MOUNTAINS

O ! quiet-sleeping hills beneath the haze,
I look in awe and yearning from afar,
You seem to show a path throughout the maze
By pointing high to where a lonely star
Averts, but upward still directs my gaze
And tells me of all lovely things that are.

Reflected at my feet thou art, 'tis true,
Soft-draped in pastel scarf of early eve,
But, up again, and there I see anew,
Unmarred by stubbled grain the harvest leave,
Untouched by stagnant pool, thy deepest hue.
Whilst here below thine outline would deceive.

I would that I might keep thee in my sight,

With eyes aloft, that oftener I might see

The stars, the clouds, the trees, the calm of night,

Companions of thine own sublimity;

So might I ne'er my rising vision blight

By bending low, in thought servility.
