156 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

On Tuesday before installation we gave a tea honoring the install-
ing officers. Lucretia Bickley and Catherine Rasbury, and the Tau Delta
girls. The guests included the members of the Faculty and the Board of
Trustees of Birmingham-Southern, representatives from each of the two
women's fraternities at the college and Howard, Birmingham's other
college, and two members from each of the fraternities in the City Pan-
hellenic.

A l l of us were present at the installation and banquet that f o l -
lowed. There were forty-rive at the banquet. I t seemed too good to
be true. We had written to every AOn in Alabama telling them about
all that was going on and several came in for the day. They added much
to our pleasure by coining and I feel sure they were amply repaid for
coming.

Felicia Metcalf, Omicron, and Lorcna Norton, TA, covered themselves
with glory the reflection of which we all enjoyed recently. They wrote
two of the four prize-winning plays in a contest recently held by the
Little Theater in Birmingham. The plays were put on by the Little
Theater for a week and the house was crowded f o r every performance.
My, how proud we were to claim both of them!

On June 15 we joined the actives in giving a Benefit Bridge Party.
A nice sum was realized from this which helped to meet the demands
of our new chapter.

We held an alumnae meeting late in May to welcome the new mem-
bers into the chapter. Realizing as we did that we would have so much
new material when the new chapter was put in, we had postponed the
election of officers f o r 1925-26 until this meeting. Those elected are:
President Mamie Baskervill; Vice-President, Lila Gray Cantey; Sec-
retary, Esther M e r r i l l ; Treasurer, Ann Green; To DRAGMA Assistant,
Ellen Barnett.

Only once during the summer did we get together and that was a
most informal meeting with Mamie Baskervill to meet Nell Fain, Pres-
ident of Nashville Alumnae Chapter, who was visiting in town. We enjoyed
hearing her tell about conventions, as well as knowing her. Should any
of you Alpha's ever come to Brimingham. be sure to let us know for
we are always glad to know other members of the fraternity.

We have had one meeting this fall. We met out at the college in
the actives' new rooms. We enjoyed seeing the seven new pledges. They
are all fine girls. Our first - work will be to help the active chapter
financially and theen we hope to start some national work.

Mary Tyler, TA, '25. is to be married to Dr. Jesse K i r k on the
fourteenth of October. Several Alpha O's are in the wedding. Many
parties are being given for her.
ffl Katrina McDonald is to be with us from the nineteenth to the twenty-
second of October. We are eagerly anticipating her visit. The chapter
will meet with Betty Bethe on the twentieth for tea with Katrina.
