this work.
N K Charlotte Yoss Kearney. Southern Dis-
trict Superintendent, visited Nu Kappa
on April 9 and 10. We entertained with a
supper for her at the sorority room on the
ninth and a tea to which representatives of
other sororities were invited on the tenth.
Following initiation in March, a banquet was
held at which the Easter motive was carried
out. Ruth D'Arline was presented with the
scholarship plaque which is given each year
to the pledge having the highest average. Nu
Kappa has been quite active in athletics this
year. We were second in our league in bas-
ketball, and we are now going out for tennis,
baseball, and archery. Mabel Robb, Margaret
Tallichet, Irma Sigler, and Laurelle Ray are
on the tennis team. The following officers
were recently elected: Mable Robb, president;
Reba Browne, vice president; Winona Blaine,
corresponding secretary; May Carroll, record-
ing secretary; Floellcn Field, treasurer; Dor-
othy Browne and Laurelle Ray, co-rush cap-
tains. Carroll Berly (pledge '35) was one of
the contestants for the "Sweetheart of S.M.U."
for the Texas "Round-Up." In the annual
Powder and Patches show, the annual inter-
sorority show, AO II was represented by 0 Officers who will direct chapter affairs
Frances Rand, Carroll Berly, and Catherine
Smith.
NO Nu Omicron has just had the loveliest
visit from Man- Dee Drummond ( A * ) .
She was only here a day but every member
enjoyed it thoroughly. We were all very sorry
that she could not stay longer and arc hoping
for another visit from her soon. Mary Eleanor
Rodenhouser was elected Junior Prom Queen
at Vandy. This was quite an honor inas-
much as every girl who attended the dances
was eligible. Election of officers was recently
held and we are all pleased as can be that
Winn Ownbey is to be our president for the
next year. Installation of the new officers
will take place at sunrise Sunday morning,
April 22, at Percy Warner Park. Rehearsals
for Coed Stunt Night, an annual show at
Yandy, are keeping everyone busy now. The
theme is to be Love Among the Nations. We
drew Italy. Winn Ownbey is business man-
ager of the entire organization. Eloise Robin-
son is our sorority chairman and Nita Lanier
is property manager. Xu Omicron won the
consolation cup in the inter-sorority basketball
tournament. Every sorority has a good team
and the games were all hard fought. We
feel very proud of our cup.
Plans are being made for the celebration of
our local Founders' Da}-, which is April 27.
Q Following our initiation we had a formal
banquet at the New England Kitchen.
Although Isabelle Clark is only a junior in
the School of Education, she is now a mem-
ber of 4>BK. Bettie Hanson was elected sec-
retary of the Y.W.C.A. for 1934-35. Our new
Combus initiate is Susan Jane Hughey. In
the recent production of "The Taming of the
Shrew" by Ye Merrie Players, Mary Jane
To DRACMA
Carothers and Lucille Bailey had minor parts.
Lucille played the part of Millie in "The
Trap," a freshman dramatics production;
Nancy Carmcan was property mistress. \ \ ith
the help of the Dayton Alumna?, Ruth (Shat-
snider) Haas and Ruth (Cox) Segar, the
senior council made nominations. Ruth Haas

and her assistant, Martha Ascham. The Day-
ton Alumna? Chapter is planning to entertain
us in the near future. This year the spring
formal will be on May 19 in the Brant ball-
room at Oxford College. We are looking for-
ward to welcoming many alumna? and as many
members of Oil and A T Chapters as can come
at that time.

Mitchell was chosen Queen of Hearts for the
Engineers' Ball at the University and along
with the three other Queens reigned supreme
during festivities of the annual Ace Day held
in April. Ten of our twelve pledges made the
required scholarship average and arc eligible
for initiation, which will be held April 20
at the home of Emily Mahan (Ex. '33), fol-
lowed by a banquet at the Cherokee Country
Club. A large number of the alumna? will
join with us for the occasion. The cup
awarded to the most outstanding pledge will
be presented to June Bayless. One of the fea-
tures of the spring social calendar was a "kid
party" tendered the actives by the pledges at
the home of Emogene Francisco. Yarina
Mayo, one of the pledges who was absent dur-
ing the second quarter owing to the illness and
subsequent death of her father, Mr. Dale
Mayo (brother of I-aura Swift Mayo Jer-
nagin, '11), has reentered the LIniversity this
quarter. Lucille Inman, a pledge of last year,
also came back to school the third quarter and
has been repledged. Our baseball team de-
feated AAA in the tournament, due largely to
the fine pitching of Betty Stewart and we have
high hopes that our athletes, despite broken
fingers and sprained ankles, will continue their
good showing both on the diamond and in the
