PI—H. SOPHIE NEWCOMB MEMORIAL COLLEGE

Fall at last rolled around and found the AOII's justly proud on
Newcomb Pledge Day, September 26. We had a most successful termina-
tion to our 1924-25 rushing season in the form of nine perfectly wonderful
pledges. 1 simply must introduce them to you and let you know why we
are so proud of them. Now, are you all ready to be impressed? They
are: Rose Chavanne, Marion Moise. Ruby Foster, Gertrude Webb, Ella
Neville, Elizabeth Quarles, Mary Moffet. Cora Heaslip and Maxine Packer.
Ruby Foster is president of the Sophomore Class, sub-editor of the New-
comb Arcade, a member of Mandolin-Guitar Club, and a member of the
Executive Committee of the College. '"Betty" Quarles is also a member of
Mandolin-Guitar Club and Mary Moffet is chairman of the Art Committee
in the dormitory. From now on, we expect great artistic effects in
the dormitory dances and dinner-parties. Cora Heaslip is treasurer of
the Sophomore class and Maxine Parker is a member of the House Coun-
cil in the dormitory.

Of course we had to do something quite different for our pledges, so
we gave a luncheon for them at the Orleans Club, a quite new and
fashionable one on St. Charles Avenue. Our spirits were too soaring to be
in the least affected by the downpour of rain that followed us even to the
football game, which we attended afterwards. We had pledging the night
of the 26th and finished off the evening by enjoying a five-pound box of
candy, sent us by Margaret Lyon, who is to be married on October 21st to
Mr. Parks Brinkley Pedrick.

Helen Bovard, '27, left the Newcomb fold and was married on October
1 to Mr. Robert Morris Franklin. We will surely miss her but. in all due
humility, we wish her just loads of happiness.

Our Grand President, Mrs. McDonald, came down for the Missouri-
Tulane football game on October 3 and lunched with Charlotte Voss, presi-
dent of Pi. We were very glad to have her, even for such a short time.
We are hoping, however, for a more extended visit soon.

We are proud of our new Assistant Cheer Leader, who is no other than
Elizabeth Heaslip, '27, who is also a sub-editor of the Jambalaya, the Tulane
University year book, and Chairman of Campus Night, a Tulane-Newcomb
entertainment occurring about four times a year. Counting in Charlotte
Voss, president of the Senior class, we consider that Pi is very well repre-
sented at Newcomb in important positions, especially since Rosa Rogers
and Dorothy Folse are also members of the House Council.

It is a pity that Kappa's loss should be Pi's gain, but all's fair in love
and war and transfers. We are so glad to welcome to Pi, Angie Meredith, a
full-fledged A Oil, and Pauline Clarke, a pledge, transfers from Kappa.

Pi hopes that all her sister chapters will have as successful a rushing
season as she has had and that the3''ll be even half as happy as she is.

NU—NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

H O U S E — H O U S E that potent cry is burnt in the thoughts of every
Nu. On September 15 we opened our tiny quarters at 69 Washington
Place. With two girls living at the house and room for a few stay-overs,
we sail forth. We owe a great many "Thank You's" to our good patroness
Pinkney Glantzberg whose priceless kindness has made our home so comfy.
Thanks are also due Mr. and Mrs. Schelnin who have labored lone with
pillows, drapes, picture-hanging and what-not. Jeanette Engle has also
