Mary Daniclson Drummond, who visited us
on April 10. Mary John Metcalf ('34), who
graduated in February and has since been in
New York, has just returned to Cincinnati.
During spring vacation, Mary Meyer visited
lota, and Sue Ward was a guest at Rho.
T Upsilon's new officers, installed April 9,
are: Louise Lutey, president; Jean Bain-
bridge, vice president; Ethel Reid, recording
secretary; Dian Manzer, corresponding secre-
tary; Lorene Fairborn, treasurer; Frances
Faurot, social chairman ; Doris Berry, rushing
chairman; Ernestine Bilan, historian-reporter;
Nancy Mason, scholarship chairman; Marie
Anderson, study plan officer; Billie Jane
Steele, social service chairman; Helen Ahram-
son, librarian. We were quite thrilled at hav-
ing present Celia Scofield's two older sisters, Temple, Marjorie Bannister, and Muriel Hook
who came to see her initiated on April 7.
At the banquet which followed the ceremony,
Margaret Mcintosh did a perfect job of being
toastmistress. The other speakers were
Gladys Phillips, Ethel Reid, and Louise Lutey,
now our president. She acted as proxy for
Dian Manzer, who lost her voice at the crucial
moment.
But we have been active in other ways than
the ceremonial. Last quarter, on February
27, we combined with KRT and 2K in giving
an all-University fireside which was extremely
successful. These firesides are a new idea on
our campus, planned to help independents to
get acquainted. Both men and women inde-
pendents are invited as guests, with invited
fraternity men as hosts and the s o r o r i t y
women of the hostess houses as hostesses.
This type of entertainment has attained its
object with remarkable success and, though
only started last quarter, has been so much
fun that it is now an established form of
social activity. Now that the new quarter has
started and our new officers are getting into
their stride, we are planning several other
things. We are already looking forward to
an informal dance which we are giving with
the alumna? at the Club Victor on April 27.
Frances Fau rot, our new social chairman, has
been dashing around all week arranging ex-
change dinners, and d i n n e r s honoring our
fathers and our mothers are also being
planned. We have already started the dinners
which will finish our rushing for the year and
are looking forward to a successful quarter,
full of activity and pledges.
Z Saturday, April 8, the Omaha Alumna;
Chapter entertained sixteen girls of the
Zeta Chapter and many Lincoln alumna: at a
luncheon at the home of Mrs. Victor B. Smith.
This is the second time the Omaha girls have
done this, and we enjoy it so much. After the
luncheon we discussed summer rushing and
other problems so that we will be able to co-
operate and get better results. This time we
also discussed plans for our annual alumna?
banquet to be held in Lincoln sometime in the
early part of May. Last week we had elec-
tions for the coming year and Betty Temple,
Lincoln, was elected president. Connie Wade,
To DRAGM S
Nebraska City, vice president; Happy Kean,
Lincoln, recording secretary; Betty Peake
Omaha, corresponding secretary; Arlene Van-
derhook, Pickrell, treasurer; Elfrieda Stauss,
Lincoln, social chairman; Lorraine Hitchcock'

Berger, Omaha, Omaha rush chairman; Irene
Barry and Dorothea Kropp, scholarship chair-

historian. In the recent Co-ed Follies Zeta
Chapter presented a skit "The What-Not
Shop," featuring a Mickey and Minnie Mouse
dance, The Cat and the Fiddle, a trio, and a
powder box girl who danced. We also had a
girl up for the best-dressed girl on the campus
to be presented at the Co-ed Follies. Jane
were models in the show. Lorraine Hitchcock
is still adding activities to her list; she was
recently appointed a member of the Student
Council from the Business Administration
College. Lorraine has been very active on the
campus this year and will act as our Rush
Chairman for the coming year. Muriel Hook,
Logan, Iowa, was selected as one of the most
charming pledges on the campus and her pic-
ture appeared in the last issue of the AwgwQm
Our Mothers' Club entertained the active
chapter and their dates at a buffet supper at
the chapter house the last Sunday in March.
The tables were decorated with Easter decora-
tions and the favors were little nests of Easter
eggs. About forty were present. This was
our third Sunday night buffet supper, and
everyone likes them. We have started prac-
ticing for the Ivy Day Sorority Sing which
takes place on the day the May Queen is pre-
sented. This year promises to be a good one
as we have quite a few good singers and we
should place high.
