TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 143

We tried something new this year by giving, in the gymnasium, the
first fraternity subscription dance. Although the weather was terrible we
made over a hundred dollars, so we feel that it was successful. We hope
to make it an annual event.

We were just as pleased as surprised when Lillian Ernest, our
president of 1924, came to visit us in our house. Lillian has been abroad,
studying at Oxford this summer.

One of our good sisters, on September 8, visited the "Little Church
Around the Corner" and incidentally changed her name from Libby Flen-
ner to Eppley. Betty McCall also went to New York to marry Grant
Roberts. During the summer Olive Wallace and Lillian Long became
engaged.

TAU DELTA—BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN COLLEGE

The Tau Deltas come back to school this year with greater pleasure,
for we are now Tau Delta of Alpha Omicron P i ! We have striven to
maintain certain standards in the past and added to these we are glad it
is our privilege to uphold those of Alpha O.

We have just finished a successful rushing season. We pledged seven
girls—the most attractive of the new girls on the Hill this year. Mary
Frances Lowell, from Brewton, Alabama, and she shows real dramatic tal-
ent, as does Elizabeth Logan, another pledge from Birmingham. They both
made the Dramatic Club. Jennie Wood, who was promised to Kappa
chapter, is our pledge and is already proving popular on the Hill. Jen-
nie has two sisters, Mary Eva and Ellen Wood, who are also AOITs.
Mary Stead, Mildred Miller and Harriet Cottingham are all outstanding
girls and much can be expected of them. Virginia Webb is a fine girl
and a place on the Co-Ed Basketball team is practically assured for her.

College elections have not taken place as yet, but we already hold a few
offices. Thelma Edmondson, a senior from Anniston, Alabama, was se-
lected for the leading part in the Commencement play for last year and
was in several other plays at the college. We are looking forward to
watching her perform in the near future. Lois Greene, sophomore, is the
college pianist. She plays in Chapel and nearly everywhere else. She was
also vice-president of the Freshman class last year and was a member of
the Y.W.C.A. Cabinet. Celia Roebuck is constantly being called on to
sing for the different organizations and at functions of the college. She
also sings at one of the leading churches in town and takes an active part
in the Junior Music Study Club. Helen Crain, our very able president
and delegate to Convention this summer, is one of the outstandisng
girls on the campus. She is president of Girls' Panhellenic and and a star
player on the Co-ed Basketball team—playing at center or forward
equally well. She was written up in the College paper in the "Karacters
of the Kampus" this week and they nearly expressed our opinion of Helen.
She was also vice-president of her Freshman class. She is now a senior and
she is finishing in three years. She was elected "Miss Birmingham South-
ern" her freshman year. Helen is most certainly an all-round girl and
we are glad the fraternity is under her guidance. We have one girl
on the junior faculty, Mildred Mullins; she is also vice president of
Y.W.C.A. and secretary of Le Circle Francais.

On October 9 the active chapter is giving a tea shower for one of our
last year's alumnae. Mary Tyler, whose marriage to Dr. Kenneth Kirk
will be solemnized October 14.

One of the most important events of the near future and one to which
we look forward most eagerly, is the visit of our Grand President. Mrs.
McDonald.
