Ann Arbor Alumna; Have Annual
Senior Breakfast
By, Margaret Underwood, O i l
-4- Two MEETINGS of the Ann Arbor alumna:
have taken place since the last report.
One in February when we joined the patron-
esses of the active chapter f o r a pot-luck
supper at the home of Mrs. Inglis. We thor-
oughly enjoyed getting together with them and
talked over the successful bridge-bake sale
wbicli we had arranged to benefit our social
work in the Kentucky mountains. We also
planned to join forces in sending clothes f o r
the same worthy cause next year. The patron
esses also made a lovely g i f t to the active
chapter of bouillon spoons. A t our A p r i l
meeting we had dinner at the house with the
actives and pledges. We were entertained by
the pledges who were on "pro" and were to
he initiated the next evening. Afterwards we
held a meeting to elect officers f o r the f o l -
lowing year. W i n i f r e d Hall ( O i l '33) is presi- purpose, since wc were trying to work at a
dent; Ruth Van Tuyl ( O i l '31), vice president
and editor to To DRAH.MA; Man i lla Schneider
( A * '28), treasurer; Dorothy Woodward Bar-
nard (Z '23), secretary. Installation of offi-
cers will be held in Ypsilanti at the home of
Cora Mae Lane Weidmann ( I ) . We planned
our next meeting, which is to be a breakfast
for the seniors at the Hall Farm on the
Huron River. This has become an annual
event to which we all look forward with
great enthusiasm.
Atlanta Alumnae Interested in Georgia
Colonization
By Emma Fritsch-e Garnscy,
- + . O U R ACTIVITY f o r months has been d i -
rected toward the University of Georgia
at Athens, and to raising money f o r our con-
tribution to the National Work. We are most
happy in our anticipation of a chapter about
which I shall tell you later.
On Founders' Day, December 8, an evening
bridge party f o r members, their dales and
husbands, was held at the home of Elizabeth
MacQuiston Nichols (NK '29). A l l kinds of
funny and appropriate trinkels were auctioned
off at quite a profit, the proceeds of which
went toward the National Work fund.
After guaranteeing to bring a certain num-
ber of people, a luncheon was given us by the
Sears and Roebuck Store, gratis, on January
17. together with a fashion show. A nominal
charge was made by our chapter to all those
.,1
attending the luncheon and the amount col-
lected went toward our quota f o r the national
fund. A f t e r luncheon everyone was asked
to remain f o r a movie depicting the work o f
the Frontier Nursing Service. I t was most
inspiring to sec the nurses and doctors in ac-
tion and appalling to know- the handicap under
which they work.
Dorothy Greve Jarnagin ( 0 '05), living in
Athens, gave a lovely tea f o r us, inviting sixty
eligible girls from the University, who were
I bought to be sorority material f o r a new
chapter. Wc were also her guests at this af-
fair and together with Dorothy Jarnagin and
her two charming daughters, we assisted in
receiving and entertaining the guests. I t was
a lovely tea and very much appreciated by us,
the Atlanta Alumna?. A f t e r everyone had
gone, we settled down to a long discussion
about the girls and our coming activities pre-
paratory to colonizing. After other visits to
Athens and various discussions we realized
that i t was rather hopeless to accomplish our
distance and not sure that we wanted to con-
sider a local. We finally decided the safest
and only way was to have an AOII alumna
matriculate and enter f o r the spring term.
Our National Secretary wrote to Beverly
Walton ( n '31), and she matriculated at the
University of Georgia in March. We are-
gratefully looking to Beverly to promote the
arduous task of colonization. She has a splen-
did ability, a charming personality and no
happier choice could have been made. Kath-
crine Kelly Du Bose entertained at a luncheon
on March 19, on Beverly's arrival f r o m her
home in New Orleans. A f t e r luncheon we
talked with Beverly about the Athens situation
as we knew it. We also received word that
Ann Anderson Sale would arrive in Atlanta
on A p r i l 3. Beverly came over from Athens
and, with Ann and the Alumna?, there was a
meeting and on A p r i l 4 a tea f o r Ann. The
tea was held at the home of Annie Stewart
Pearce ( I I '24), to which formal invitations
were issued, inviting two members f r o m each
sorority affiliated wit 11 Panhellenic. I t was a-
pcrfect spring day, and the house and guests-
took on the seasonal spirit. The house was
bedecked with jonquils and f r u i t blossoms.
The centerpiece on the tea table, at which
Hazel Hartwell Jenkins ( A ) and E d i t h
Walthal Ford poured, were the AOII red roses
and candles. Elizabeth Nichols, Annie Stew-
art Pearce and Ann Sale received. Mary H u r t
( K ) and Marie Askew ( K ) were home f o r
the holidays. Eulee t i d e (-1*) was visiting.
